Woodhull Elementary School students got into the Halloween spirit this October when participating in a series of interactive programs. Set up in the gym by school nurse Janet, the students went “Mummy Bowling,” took turns at a pumpkin-themed bean bag toss and even worked to pin the tail on the cat. There was also a contest to guess how many plastic eyeballs were in a jar and a mask decorating contest. Students wrapped up the day by wearing their Halloween costumes.

As part of the school’s environmental education program, Woodhull Elementary School students have been taking to the outdoors to learn about and explore their local community.

During a recent lesson, kindergarten students walked along the seashore to discover different aquatic animals, examine the properties of seashells and document their findings.

Additionally, students in third and fourth grade explored the grounds surrounding the school and examined items found in nature using handheld magnifying glasses. They too documented their findings along the way and were eager to share their discoveries with their classmates.

This is a series of materials, websites and guides aimed at helping parents navigate the Common Core Standards.
