🌱 Grafflin third graders in Mrs. Cardinale’s class take turns caring for classroom plants as student horticulturists, enjoy salads from the schoolwide harvest and track bird sightings on the class birder chart each morning. #WeAreChappaqua @CoachSpillane

🌷 Spring in full swing.
K-4 students are shaping up the garden, writing in a quiet spot and running around and playing. A few marked yesterday with "May the fourth be with you."

☀️ Ms. McCarthy’s 2nd graders took their measurement and data work into the Grafflin garden.
Students measured plants, flowers and other objects, recorded their findings and then created bar graphs and line plots to present their results.

Watch what happens when science bubbles up at Grafflin.
To wrap their unit on fast and slow changes, Ms. Mancuso’s second graders created model volcano eruptions, exploring how heat and pressure beneath the Earth’s crust lead to real eruptions.

DG kindergarteners celebrated a huge milestone with a Book Parade! After building "super powers" in sight words and CVC decoding, they proudly marched through the halls to cheers from the big kids. Love seeing our young learners gain the confidence to read all by themselves.

A Flurry of Friendly Competition ❄️
First-year students teamed up with peer ambassadors as part of the New Student Program at Grafflin for a laughter-filled indoor “snowball” match before the break - no winter coats required.

Devices Down Arcade at Grafflin 🎯
Third graders wrapped up their forces & motion unit by building a screen-free arcade using gravity, friction, magnets, pushes & pulls. Families came to play — and students explained the science behind every game. #WeAreChappaqua @CoachSpillane

🪨 Rock Solid Learning at Grafflin!
Ms. McCarthy’s 2nd grade class enjoyed a visit from PNW BOCES’ Center for Environmental Education, learning how rocks and minerals form and change, a connection to their Fast and Slow Earth Changes science unit. #WeAreChappaqua @pnwboces
