Our Recycling Awareness Challenge Grant application was approved by Bergen County Utilities Authority this morning. This provides $1,000 of funding for environmental science projects at @WPSEisenhower.
Twelve @WPSEisenhower rainbow trout were released in the Saddle River after school yesterday. A successful Trout in the Classroom year. Thanks to Trout Unlimited, Pequest hatchery and NJ Fish & Wildlife.
Grade 6 @WPSEisenhower students applying math in science by using the arrival times of seismic waves to triangulate an earthquake epicenter near the San Andreas Fault.
Grade 6 @WPSEisenhower students completed a “quakeproof” building challenge using K’NEX and our shake table after learning about earthquakes in Haiti, strong and flexible building materials and resilient building design.
If you are interested, it's not too late to register for the Google for Education Product Training Series. Most on using AI in the classroom. I'm watching this one live now. educationonair.withgoogle.co…
Frost Valley Day #1 with @WPSEisenhower Grade 6 Team 3 (finally got cell service).

Green Nation are building two collection recycling bins for Lego to be reused through their Lego replay program. Send your old Lego's to room 301 or 512. @WPSEisenhower
It's Egg Day at @WPSEisenhower. Our Trout in the Classroom program for grade 6 science and the Human Impact classes is underway with rainbow trout eggs already hatching.

Mr. Franchini’s Human Impact class had a great time water testing today! The tank is almost ready for the trout eggs on October 18th! @mrfranchini @WPSEisenhower @wyckoffschools
Water testing with @WPSEisenhower @mrsdflorio's Human Impact exploratory class in preparation for our rainbow trout eggs as part of the Trout in the Classroom program. Don't worry, my Human Impact class will do this tomorrow.
Enjoying day 2 with @WPSEisenhower @EmsTeam3 @frostvalley. Lots of pond ecology plus the climbing wall and orienteering. Headed to see the snakeman followed by a night hike.
Having a great time with @WPSEisenhower Grade 6 Team 3 Frost Valley. Waterfall hike, team building & pond ecology. Dinner, campfire & birdman next.
We continued our work on the @WPSEisenhower garden pollinator beds during TIEE. Thanks to a generous donation of soil and native plants from the EMS PTO, we were able to get started several weeks ago. This week we are planting pollinators we grew from seeds this spring.
During TIEE, students tested our water quality for our @WPSEisenhower 2022-2023 Trout in the Classroom program application which will be part of a new grade 6 science exploratory course - Human Impact. We will raise and release rainbow trout to learn about coldwater conservation.
Happy Earth Day! We started pollinator seeds and continued preparing the pollinator garden beds during grade 6 TIEE. @WPSEisenhower @wyckoffschools
Dichotomous keys, pond ecology and bird adaptations at Frost Valley YMCA. It's as if they know exactly what we teach in grade 6 science at EMS. @WPSEisenhower @wyckoffschools
A great extension during TIEE time to continue our study of symbiotic relationships with grade 6 students. We cleaned out the three pollinator beds in the EMS garden and made plans for spring planting. The bees and butterflies will be happy. @WPSEisenhower @wyckoffschools
