Sinai Elementary Pre-K students enjoy the Arts Academy at The Prizery. The Pre-K Arts Academy is an enrichment program designed especially for young learners. Ms. Emily and Ms. Laura provide music, art and movement classes. One student said three times today that "it was the best day of my life." We are very grateful to have this opportunity in our community for the little folks.
Don't forget our Fall Festival, November 1st. Kids wear your costumes, but no masks please!
Second grade students in Mrs. Bowe's classroom used task cards to create Halloween designs. They planned and collaborated to build their Lego Halloween creations, ensuring teamwork throughout the process.
Students and Staff Members at Sinai Elementary shared kindness, promoted acceptance, and encouraged inclusion to prevent bullying by wearing orange on Unity Day.
5th Grade Sinai Scientists Engage in Motion Exploration with Lego Kits! In collaborative groups, they not only designed and built various Lego structures but also focused on creating models that vividly demonstrated the principles of kinetic energy. This engaging activity encouraged teamwork and problem-solving skills, as students experimented with different designs to see how they could maximize movement and energy transfer within their creations. Through this interactive approach, students gained a deeper understanding of scientific concepts while fostering their creativity and critical thinking abilities.
Cake Walk! We need donations of cakes and pies for the Sinai Fall Festival on November 1st at the school. Please see flyer below.
Sinai Scientists in Mrs. Rutherford's class went on a nature hunt and picked up leaves. They let the leaves dry for a week. Next, the students used a tree template, glue, paint brushes and leaves to decorate their fall tree. The students enjoyed crushing the leaves for their tree.
As a reminder, Monday, October 21, 2024 is a Teacher Workday/Parent Conference Day. Students do not attend school.
Ms. Francis and Ms. Emerson's classes recently attended the Halifax County Farm Bureau Farm and Safety Day at the Halifax County Fairgrounds. The students were engaged all day at different stations learning about a variety of topics. Students learned about forestry, plant science, ATV Safety, the bee keepers, wildlife, soil, and animals. We would like to thank Halifax County Farm Bureau for putting this event together.
Please see the attached flyer for information on Sinai Elementary's Fall Festival!
Feedmore - October 17th!
Breast Cancer Awareness Spirit Day - Wear Pink!
World Day of Bullying Prevention - Students and Staff Members at Sinai Elementary began Bullying Prevention Month (October) by wearing blue to stand together against bullying. Be a Buddy, Not a Bully!
Sinai Elementary School recognized students who earned Perfect Attendance during the months of August and September. Each student received a certificate and a prize. All students are encouraged to "Strive for Five".
Sinai Scientists in Ms. Francis and Ms. Emerson's classes completed an experiment on the density of different liquids. The students added oil, vinegar, corn syrup, and colored water to a clear container. After waiting a few minutes, students observed that the liquids were no longer in the same order that they were added. The liquids layered based on their density.
Sinai Scientists in Ms. Francis and Ms. Emerson's third grade classes completed an experiment to find static electricity. Students loaded the balloon with electrons by rubbing the balloon on their head or sweatshirt, then held it over a plate with salt and pepper. They observed the pepper flakes fly up to the balloon as the electrons attracted them.
Ever look up into the sky and wonder how clouds form? Ms. Goode and Mrs. Lipscomb's class talked about weather and changes in nature this week. The group conducted a science experiment making clouds in a jar.
Our kindergarten students explored moving matter by blowing through straws. This provided an ideal opportunity to introduce students to the concepts of liquid and forces that push. Students worked in groups and acted as scientists as they blew items through a straw to see how fast they would move.
As a reminder, all schools and offices will be closed Monday, October 14, 2024 in observance of Indigenous Peoples' Day.
Sinai Elementary ECSE students recently enjoyed decorating pumpkins! Sinai Elementary would like to thank Lowe's for their generous donation of pumpkins for our ECSE students!
