Rotary Club Donates Dictionaries
Members of the Rotary Club of Burton-Middlefield gift third-grade students with dictionaries every year. The class of 2029 received their dictionaries on Feb. 13. Rotarian Bob Varga spent time talking to the class, explaining how the dictionaries work and noting the additional information that can be found, including state information, lists of presidents and American Sign Language. Several of the students really enjoyed practicing the ASL alphabet.
The school district is grateful to the Rotary for providing this valuable resource to the students. It is greatly appreciated and something they will be able to use for years to come.
First-Grade Science Lab
Jordak first-graders recently spent time with district science consultant Claire Zurbuch in the science lab learning about solids, liquids, gas and measurement. They had the opportunity to move through nine different stations where they measured different solids, such as wooden blocks and ice cubes, and liquids, such as water, and identified air as a gas that filled a balloon. Mr. Z. also did a demonstration about how atoms move in a solid versus a liquid versus a gas.
