As part of the 4th-grade science curriculum learning about rocks and soil, SSAES 4th grade students made model volcanoes. First the students constructed the inside of their models using a bottle, newspaper and cardboard. Next they covered their models with tissue paper and glue, which made the model stronger and more rigid. After that, the students painted their models. They mixed white and black paint to create their own shade of gray. Students then investigated how to create a safe chemical reaction to represent the eruption. To do this, they experimented to learn the correct amount of baking soda, vinegar and dish soap in combination that would create gas bubbles that looked like an eruption. Finally in our own 'Ring of Fire' of volcanoes, the class erupted their volcano models.

Learning through play and the creative process happens daily at SSAES, even in fifth-grade. As part of their science unit on the ecosystem, fifth-graders participated in a "Bloom Busters" game to learn how to help prevent the spread of algae blooms and protect the environment. And in language arts, students created choiceboard projects based on their first novel study book “Eleven”. Through a framework of choiceboard project activities - including a character talk show, a symbolism museum, and a character case file - students were able to demonstrate what they learned by reading “Eleven.” Not yet a part of the SSAES community.
