Sinai Elementary School fourth grade students were able to participate in the Jamestown-Yorktown Outreach Programs. The students enjoyed getting to see artifacts and learn more about the history of Jamestown. The program provided more opportunities for learning that we could do with just our typical resources. Thank you to the Halifax County Public Schools Education Foundation Teacher Mini-Grant for this opportunity!
Sinai Elementary School fourth grade students were able to participate in the Wizard of Oz play. The students enjoyed the play, many of which had never attended a theatrical performance. The students enjoyed engaging in activities comparing the play with the movie they had seen and even with the book. Thank you to the Halifax County Public Schools Education Foundation Teacher Mini-Grant for this opportunity!
Write up for Amazement Square:Thanks to a generous education grant from HCPS, our 2nd-grade students recently enjoyed an exciting trip to Amazement Square. At this interactive children's museum, students explored four floors of hands-on, engaging exhibits designed to make learning both fun and educational.
One of the highlights of the visit was an exhibit where students investigated how a bird's beak shape affects its ability to gather food in different habitats. Through this hands-on activity, students learned about adaptation and the importance of physical traits in the survival of species. The trip was an unforgettable experience, sparking curiosity and excitement for learning in all who attended.
The kindergartners' field trip to Danville Science Museum was a total success! The students enjoyed every aspect of their trip. Our students were able to reinforce classroom lessons with hands-on explorations. They experienced the Dome Theatre Room by reclining in luxury seating watching a video about seasons and changes over time. They were truly amazed! They explored butterflies, talked about the life cycle, and created their very own butterfly to take home! A Super Great thanks you to Halifax Education Foundation for making this experience possible.
Mrs. Rutherford's class was able to visit The South Boston Museum and The Botanical Garden at Edmund's park thanks to a grant from the Halifax County Public Schools Education Foundation.
