Durand students and staff love their FriYAYs, especially when it's a Fins Up FriYAY! One time per month, special guests join Durand administration, staff, and of course, the school mascot, Skipper the Dolphin, in welcoming students to school and celebrating the end of a wonderful week. This week Officer Cassidy from the Vineland Police Department and Mr. Mike Hall and Ms. Dana Blakely from the Transportation Department joined in the celebration. Music can be heard in the car rider and bus lanes along with big smiles of excitement as students arrive to school. Students are greeted with fist bumps, high-fives, hugs, and cheers as they walk into the building. It is a great way to celebrate students and show them how happy Durand staff is to see them at school. Future Fins Up Fridays will include visits from the Vineland Fire and EMS departments, along with many other special guests.
In Mrs. Tarzopoulos' kindergarten class at Durand Elementary School. students have been learning all about apples and how they grow. Students learned that there are so many different kinds of apples. They had the opportunity to taste 3 different kinds, Red Delicious (red), Granny Smith (green), and Golden Delicious (yellow). After students tasted the apples, they picked the color they liked best. After all the votes were counted, this sweet group of students liked Golden Delicious (yellow) the best! Students in Room 5 enjoyed their appley delicious day!
Dallago Preschool celebrated the Week of Respect with spirit days that included: dressing as their favorite superhero for “I Can Be a Super Friend” day, wearing tie dye clothing to represent “Peace, Love, & Kindness”, wearing team shirts to “Team Up Against Bullying”, and pajama day because “Respecting Friends is a Dream Come True”. Students also participated in lessons throughout each day where they learned how to respect their classroom materials and environment, identify emotions, and come together as a team.
This week in Ms. Espinosa’s bilingual science classes at Wallace Middle School, 6th graders learned about how water moves. They created landforms using aluminum trays, beakers, and newspapers, then sprayed water onto their landforms to see how the water would move. Students got creative and created landforms such as mountains, plateaus, valleys, and more.
Seventh graders learned about convection. We placed a cup of hot (red) water over a cup of cold (blue) water with a plastic sheet separating them. When the plastic sheet was removed, we saw that the two did not mix. Since heat rises, the hot water stayed on top and did not mix with the cold water.
8th graders learned that convection currents cause tectonic plate movement. This was modeled with cold (blue) and hot (red) water in beakers placed in an aquarium. Students saw how the hot water rose to the top and the cold water stayed at the bottom of the tank.
