Our Life Skills program has been buzzing with culinary creativity this month! Students have been sharpening their cooking and nutrition skills through fun, hands-on food preparation activities. Some of their delicious creations include Macaroni and Cheese Cups, Peanut Butter “Bluey” Sandwiches, Dirt Pudding Cups, Fruit Kebabs, and Halloween-themed Chocolate-Covered Pretzel Rods.
Our science classes have been diving into fascinating experiments that encourage critical thinking and data collection:
Ramp Experiments: Students calculated distances using different forces and incline angles
Sound Investigation: Exploring acoustic changes by adding weights to cow bells
Probability Study: Collecting and analyzing data from coin flip experiments
Thank you to Mrs. Caputo and the team for making the start of the year incredibly successful!
