Today is National Walk & Bike to School Day! Dr. Lamont Repollet joined Lindsay Frevert & students from Van Derveer Elementary school for their walking school bus! @Ville_Sup Rob Reavey

VDV’s walking school bus had a great turnout for #WalkToSchoolDay So much support from our community and fun way to start the day!

Skyping Ms. Sammy a scientist from Students2Science. Students got to learn about erosion and weathering through hands on activities. Our Scientists had so much fun! Alexandra Lauri (Bartfield)

Working to Escape the Classroom. Reviewing decimals on our first day back in 2020!

Students have worked hard on creating cities. Do you have a favorite volume city?

Winter without snow days have got us like... #allin4theville Ms. Lanouette VDV 5th Grade

Celebrating Dr. Seuss with two guest readers. Thank you to Officer Snook and K-9 Basilone! We had so many questions and even got to see Sheriff K9 Basilone use his nose to search out his favorite toy. What a way to start off our week!

Enjoying the warmer weather by taking a nature walk around our school to identify abiotic and biotic factors in the VDV Ecosystem. We got stumped on a few objects, air and dirt. Do you think air/dirt is abiotic or biotic? Next up, what makes something “living”.

Looking forward to next week’s VDV Earth Week! It is Earth Day’s 50th Anniversary! Wow! #EarthDaySomervilleNJ

Shout out to students in Mrs Stanek & Ms Ferguson's classes at SMS for taking part in our "Helpers" Comm Service Project! Students wrote thank you letters to our Healthcare Heroes at RWJ Univ Hospital & delivered with a basket of treats. #RWJSomerset #radiology #allin4theville

Just had a student share about 13 Skeletons in Bridgewater. What a creative idea! Can anyone solve their spooky problems? They even have a challenge on their Facebook for those who solve the ones below! Go check it out and let’s see how many mathematicians can figure it out!!

Yesterday we were able to go outside and explore matter and it’s properties.

Virtual Back to School Night was a success! I am lucky to have such an awesome team and flexible students and guardians.

While talking about atoms and states of matter a student wondered what would happen if we left a water cup in the sun. Other students asked how long would it take the water to turn into a gas. They then came up with their own experiment! When will the liquid turn to a gas?

Worked with some decimal number lines today. Loved seeing students make connections to whole numbers. Students got to learn from their mistakes and work on their growth mindsets. What do you notice about our number line?
