We want to thank the Schooley's Mountain Fire Company for coming to Cucinella today to teach our preschool students about fire safety. The firefighters spent the morning talking to our students about the equipment they use to help keep us safe. It was a great opportunity for our students to see a firetruck up close and personal. Thank you to the fire men and women who keep our community safe!
Students in Mrs. Leonard's and Mrs. Richardson's 4th grade class spent the past week learning about the life cycle of mealworms. They have been observing them in class collecting data to help them understand the various stages they progress through.

On Thursday April 13th, our 4th, 2nd, and Kindergarten students participated in the 2nd Annual STEM Recycle Carnival! This event was the brainchild of our STEM PLC team members led by Mrs. Amy Casha last year. Now the 2nd and 4th grade teams have taken this event to new heights. These teachers inspired a cooperative STEM experience in which our 2nd and 4th grader students created carnival games from 100% recyclable materials! The 4th grade students used this opportunity to mentor and teach their 2nd grade counterparts about physics and the engineering design process. After creating and assembling their games, our kindergarten students were then invited to play their games and win prizes. The students did an impressive job working cooperatively to build a carnival their guests would never forget! Congratulations to all involved for a wonderful job!
Our Third Grade Classes have been rehearsing hard this week, and the results were beautiful music in their class performances. The students under the direction of Mrs. Postigo put in tremendous effort to create this beautiful music and should be commended for their hard work.
Ms. Sonzongi’s ELA class decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather by having class outside to carry on with their readings about the Revolutionary War. Great job!

In celebration of Women’s History Month, Mrs. Molkenthin's 2nd Grade students wrote about their Sheroes! Their Sheroes included moms, teachers, sisters, aunts, coaches... The kids were so excited to write letters, create awards, & illustrate pictures to present to their Shero!
Our 4th and 5th grade engineers from Mrs. Van Houten’s and Mrs. Richardson & Mrs. Leonard’s classes completed various STEM activities for this year’s Pi Day. Fifth graders took on the role of mentor, guiding fourth graders in how to round decimals, determine diameter and circumference, and take on visual challenges. To celebrate Pi Day, they selected four lucky winners from a raffle to receive a special Pi Day t-shirt, after correctly rounding the decimal numbers to 3.14. Thank you, Mrs. Van Houten, Mrs. Richardson, and Mrs. Leonard for creating this wonderful and memorable activity.
