Dennis Township Primary School
Mrs. Curvan’s third-grade students completed the Read A-Z Challenge.
Each student randomly selected a letter from the alphabet. They were then tasked with the responsibility of finding a book with a title that began with their letter.
Students read their books, and identified the literary elements. They created posters to reflect the tone of their books, and Google Slide projects to present book summaries to their classmates.

Over the past few weeks, third graders at the Dennis Township Primary School have been studying force and motion in science, and to wrap up the unit they made paper airplanes. The runway was cleared for take off, as they participated in The Great Paper Airplane Flying Competition- an engaging and hands-on way to apply what they knew about the effects of force, gravity, and mass.
 Students worked their way through the scientific process by designing and building paper airplanes. After testing prototypes and making modifications, they participated in the friendly tournament-style competition. Dante Duca from Mrs. Curvan’s class was the overall winner. Dante explained that he created a dart-like airplane that was “sleek and aerodynamic” to win the competition.

Math teacher Tamara Gonnam took a rising trend outside of the classroom and put a mathematical twist on it – while inviting students to participate in a magic cube hangout. Students learned technique and strategy while participating in informal competitions to solve their cubes.
***
Fifth graders in Mrs. Riggitano, Mrs. Quinlan, and Ms. Player’s classes celebrated St. Patrick’s Day and practiced their practical math skills by making Irish potatoes.
***
Students in Mr. Poltorak’s seventh-grade science classes were challenged to design, create, and present the best functioning rollercoaster with various stipulations using the laws of motion and physics.
