Science Friday's are off to a great start. Please choose a time to volunteer with your child's class, or with a class that fits in your schedule. Parent volunteers help allow these labs to happen!
|
Last Friday 4th graders studied waves with the help of "screaming balloons" (inflated balloon with small hex nut inside), sound waves transmitted from elbow to ear, giant slinkies, and more. Watch this fun Youtube video with your child about building a wave machine!
|
|
In the aftermath of this science fun, we need someone with high spatial IQ to untangle slinkies. If you could do it, slinkies that need this are on floor of science room. Thanks!

Parent Seminar on Restorative Justice
|
|
|
|
|
Parents practiced conducting a Paideia seminar discussing Restorative Practices, an approach to behavior managment adopted by Sylvan Park.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The rules and goals above help guide discussions and teach respectful communication. Students participate in roughtly 10 seminars each school year.
|
|
|
Tree murals provide a script for students involved in conflicts to work through the issue together. The restorative approach emphasizes finding an appropriate resolution rather then simply punishing a wrongdoing.
