🌕 Science is Sweet in Mrs. Banker’s Class!
Ever wonder why the Moon looks like a sliver one night and a giant glowing pizza the next? 🍕 Our 8th graders dived into the Earth-Moon-Sun System recently to answer our Essential Question: Why does the moon seem to change shape?
To figure it out, the students got a little "tasty" with science! Students used Oreo cookies to create edible models of the lunar cycle, scraping away the cream to represent how the sun’s light reflects off the Moon as it orbits Earth.
📓 Lesson Highlights:
The Model: Mapping the moon’s motion around Earth.
The "Why": Understanding that the Moon doesn't actually change shape - just our view of the illuminated half!
The Prediction: Using cyclic patterns to determine what the Moon will look like next.
Bonus: They even touched on how the perfect alignment leads to spectacular eclipses! 🌑☀️
It turns out that mastering the phases of the Moon is much easier when you can eat the "Waxing Crescent" afterwards! Great job, Mrs. Banker’s scientists! 🚀✨

🚌 The Pigeon tried, but the bus stayed on course... straight to the theater! 🎭
Our Yake Elementary Young Fives through 2nd-grade students had an absolute blast on their field trip to the Downriver Youth Performing Arts Center (DYPAC) in Trenton!
The kids were treated to a performance of "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus," and for many of our youngest learners, this was their very first live theater experience.
THANK YOU to the Yake Elementary PTO for organizing this wonderful opportunity. We love seeing our students explore the arts and make such fun memories together!

Weekly Athletics Update!
💜 Student Voice. Student Leadership. Student Inspiration. 💜
Mrs. Sara Furrow’s fifth grade class at Woodhaven Upper Elementary recently took on a powerful, student-led project after being asked to select an impactful and positive African American individual to highlight.
After thoughtful discussion and connecting their classroom readings about the Olympics to the excitement surrounding the Winter Games, students chose Simone Biles. While she’s known around the world for her incredible accomplishments in gymnastics, these fifth graders were especially inspired by her courage in advocating for mental health.
Students filled their classroom door with meaningful quotes from Simone Biles, highlighting her strength, resilience, and message about prioritizing mental well-being. Their goal? To inspire others to speak up, seek support, and advocate for their own mental health.
What makes this project even more special — it was 100% student-led. From the decision-making and brainstorming to designing and creating the display, every step was powered by teamwork and student voice.
Way to go, Mrs. Furrow’s class! You’re showing us that leadership, compassion, and advocacy can start at any age. 🌟
