Students of Ms. Galicia and Ms. Medina had an entire section on making Baggie Ice Cream. The project included research, adding decimals and fractions, learning English vocabulary, sentence structure, comprehension, participation, oral presentation, technology (they made a “how to” slide show), and a final quiz over everything. Then, they made the ice cream. Yum! Finally, the students presented their slideshow to practice their Oral Language Skills. This project made learning fun!

Members of the SENSE after-school program, the Environmental Investigators, toured Butler Univeristy’s Center for Urban Ecology Farm. Our club members gave an outstanding presentation about our school’s habitat to three other elementary schools and a panel of environmental experts. During their tour of the farm, they learned about cover cropping, permaculture, and farming with pollinators. Our year-long Environmental Investigator’s Club is lead by our 6th grade science teacher, Elizabeth Johnson, and Rob Uppencamp, who has a student at SENSE and is a Senior Scientist and Risk Assessor at ARCADIS NV.

Students in Ms. McDaniel’s class worked hard on their end-of-the-year math board game projects.

Through the great generosity of many of our SENSE families, we raise $643.75 with our recent Pennies for Patients campaign. Our annual Pennies for Patients drive benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). Students learn about blood diseases and were visited by guest speaker, Gary Webb, who is a longtime volunteer at SENSE. He serves with the Board of Trustees for LLS, and is a blood-cancer survivor. Pictured here is April Wolcott, Co- Vice Principal of SENSE, Gary Webb and a LLS representative, Robin Shelton, to receive our contribution check. Thanks to all who contributed to this great cause to help end blood cancers in our lifetime.
