In this Paper Mountains Activity, students observed how rivers flow!

In yesterday’s science lesson, students discovered different ways that animals hide from predators. They used what they learned to hide their own secret messages. We had a great time finding them this morning!

Second grade engineers responded to literacy by building their own leprechaun traps! We should be rolling in the gold by tomorrow!

Congratulations to my son, Patrick, the Irish EMT of the year! #JerseyCity

In this lesson, second grade scientists discovered how water acts like a prism, splitting white sunlight into all the colors of the rainbow!

Second grade scientists and engineers created Wind-Proof umbrellas using what they observed about the structure of trees.

The heat didn’t stop these second grade mathematicians! We did some measuring today!

We had so much fun creating and writing about our very own claymates.@devpetty

First grade scientists are learning why camouflage is helpful to animals. They used what they learned to hide secret messages around the room!

First grade scientists are learning about inheritance and variation of traits. In this activity, we learned that baby animals are similar to their parents.

From seed to pumpkin brought to life with some carving and followed with a Flaherty family favorite, The Little Orange House!

Literacy met science today! Creepy Pair of Underwear followed by Mystery Science and How Do Things Glow in the Dark? Next, a science experiment to create glowing water! Go Wise Owls!

Wise Owls created wax paper snowflakes and investigated how to make something that is transparent look white. Why is the snow white? Ask a first grade Wise Owl!

What a great Friday Funday! Thank you Jersey City Public Library for today’s puppet show! Of course, we had to make our own! Go Wise Owls! Fun everyday!

What a perfect day to make observations about our hearts and pulses. Happy, healthy hearts! Go Wise Owls!

Check out our Pi Day Monsters! Go Wise Owls!

Looks like our traps worked!

Why are butterflies so colorful? Ask a first grade wise owl as they learn about camouflage, predators, and some symmetry for math!

Wise Owls learned why in some bird species the male looks different from the female. Students built turkey models that performed wobbly dances!
