Sinai Scientists in Mrs. Bowes second grade class at Sinai Elementary participated in the STEM activity Dissolve or Not Dissolve. Students made a hypothesis about which of four substances, sugar, sand, glitter, and salt would dissolve or not in water. Students then conducted an experiment to test their hypotheses.
Sinai 5th grade scientists in Mrs. Fears homeroom completed their lab stations on erosion and weathering. They show how ice erosion works using sediments frozen in ice and sand. For chemical weathering, they carved designs into chalk and used vinegar to weather it.
Danville Community College visits Sinai Elementary School to share their 2023 Literacy Project (children book titled: Ace the Mighty conquers Knight School) with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders. The students loved meeting Ace!
Interim reports for the third nine weeks are available for viewing on the Campus Portal. If you need assistance with the portal or need a paper copy of the report, please contact your child's school.
5th grade Sinai Scientists explored how wind and water erosion happen. Students in Ms. Brockenbury's home room utilized sand and paper fans to show wind erosion. For water erosion, they used gravel, sand, straw, containers, and water. Their creations let them see how the sediments were transported.
Congratulations to our Kindness Poster Contest winners! Sinai Elementary students were encouraged to create a poster that shows what kindness means to them. It's Cool to be Kind! Students received prizes of coloring books or drawing pads and Colors of Kindness crayons, markers, or colored pencils.

Sinai Gumdrop Challenge in Ms. Mason’s Class - Our budding engineers in Mrs. Mason's first-grade class tackled an exciting STEM challenge that turned gumdrops and toothpicks into towering Christmas trees! This delightful activity was made possible through the generous support of the Halifax County Public Schools Education Foundation, which provided a valuable mini-grant.
With the guidance of Mrs. Lewis, ITRT, these young innovators explored the world of engineering, problem-solving, and teamwork. The results are spectacular!
We extend our deepest appreciation to the HCPS Education Foundation for their unwavering commitment to educational excellence and for enriching the lives of our students.
First Graders Soar to New Heights with Gumdrops and Toothpicks! Thanks to a generous mini-grant from the Halifax County Public Schools Education Foundation, students in Mrs. Richardson's first-grade class embarked on an exciting STEM challenge. With the guidance of Mrs. Lewis, ITRT, these young innovators put their creativity to the test as they constructed towering Christmas trees using gumdrops and toothpicks. Check out these pictures for a glimpse of their sweet success! We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the HCPS Education Foundation for making this delightful learning experience possible!
In a thrilling and educational adventure, Ms. Lanham's class took on the Santa's Parachute Challenge, guided by Mrs. Lewis, ITRT. Armed with creativity and engineering skills, these students were tasked with constructing a parachute and basket for Santa, aiming to drop it on a target and ensure a safe landing without the basket tipping over.
Using a variety of materials, including coffee filters, plastic tablecloth squares, mini cups, and index cards, these young engineers learned about drag, air resistance, gravity, and balance as they designed an effective parachute system. Their goal? To increase drag, reduce the strength of gravitational pull, and slow down the fall of Santa's basket.
This exciting project was made possible thanks to the support of the HCPS Education Foundation, and we extend our heartfelt appreciation for their commitment to inspiring innovative learning experiences.
These students reached new heights in their understanding of science and engineering, and their enthusiasm soared as Santa's parachute gracefully descended.
A heartfelt thank you to the HCPS Education Foundation for making this exciting challenge possible!
