5th Grade Sinai Scientists recently got to make their very one LED nameplates. They utilized their knowledge from the electricity unit to create their designs. Thanks to Hitachi for generously donating the kits!
Sinai PK3 students in Ms. Terry's class recently did a math lesson and incorporated making their own gingerbread house into the lesson!
Third grade students in Ms. Francis's homeroom recently engaged in a fun "cleanup" activity! They worked together to sort, separate, and study their Legos. The students sorted the Legos by color, making the process both organized and colorful.
While they were sorting, Mrs. Tingen encouraged them to study each Lego piece and transform it into something three-dimensional. The students showcased their creativity by building an ice skating park, a swimming pool, a 3D maze, and a Chinese tower. This hands-on activity allowed them to work together and explore their imaginative ideas!
