ECC Explosion!

In science class our ECC-er's learned that when you mix baking soda and vinegar together...it will explode like a volcano! They watched in awe as the mixture turned into bubbles and overflowed over the glass.  They also used different colored food coloring to spice up their mixtures a bit.

Check out photos below of the student's reactions!

Kindergarten's Got the Moves!

During gym class yesterday, Mrs. Albers joined the Kindergarteners in their classroom for some "Wii" synchronized dancing.  They carefully followed the dance moves on the smart board screen and quickly got the hang of it as they also sung along to the pop lyrics.  Moreh Moshe snuck in towards the end and tried to keep up with the Kindergarteners; it definitely was a challenge!

Outdoor Recess in February?!

This afternoon, our students took advantage of this warm "winter"weather we are having and played outside during recess! The older grades played soccer and basketball on the fields and court, while the younger grades had a blast on the playground. Check out photos of our ECC-ers in action on the playground!

Experimenting up a Storm!

Check out photos below from inside the HAMC science labs!  The 5th graders learned all about physical and chemical weathering, conducting an experiment shaking chalk stones in both water and vinegar and contrasting the results.  Down the hall, the 6th graders were creating model land-fill systems, simulating three different models to explore how each one controls land-fill contamination.  Keep checking the blog to learn more about our HAMC scientists hard at work!

A Bilingual "Cat in the Hat"

This morning the 1st grade class had a very special treat in the library from Moreh Moshe and Mrs. Sulkin.  They were read one of their favorite Dr. Seuss classics, but with a special twist! While Mrs. Sulkin read "The Cat in the Hat" in English, Moreh Moshe read "Ha Chatul Ha Allul" in Hebrew.  The students know this book so well (in Hebrew and English) that they were able to finish both Mrs. Sulkin's and Moreh Moshe's sentences!

Stay tuned for a live video of this special storytelling!

Ima V'Ani: Mommy and Me!

This morning our tiniest tots waddled through the doors of the HAMC with their mommy's in hand, very excited for a morning of Mommy and Me with Mrs. Rubin! Both adults and children had a blast working art projects, playing outside, and enjoying many other fun activities together. These little ones are the cutest!
