Last week, Mrs. Culotta's 5K students explored magnets! 🧲 They discovered that magnets have two poles and attract only specific metals. Using their newfound knowledge, they experimented with building and playing with magnets. They also created drawings of items that are magnetic and non-magnetic. Great job, future scientists! 👏 #STEMInAction #CuriousMinds #Magnets #Creating #Kindergarten #SalemSchoolFalcons

First graders in Mrs. Heinberg's class started learning about dominoes and how they can be used in math. To kick off their new unit, students enjoyed playing a math game with a partner. They took turns drawing one domino each and determined the total number of dots. The player with the most dots on their domino kept both dominoes. Whoever had the most dominoes at the end was the winner! #FunWithMath #Dominoes #Counting #Numbers #SalemSchoolFalcons
