Students in Mr. Draper’s, Mrs. Dunlap’s and Miss Thomasson’s third grade classrooms recently studied famous people and completed biography projects.  The students had to create a “hanger person” representing the person they researched and then come to school dressed as that famous person and make a speech to their classmates speaking in the first person.  It was delightful having several famous people “visit” Longcoy School such as:  President Obama, Queen Elizabeth, and Sakakawea!

Mrs. Tonelli’s first grade class has been learning about types of materials that can be recycled.  In their classroom, they made a landfill and are watching how materials change over time.  Some of the materials are not changing, even when water is added.  The students were given a job:  build a boat out of any type of recyclable material or trash to see how the materials change in the water.  They added a challenge to see how many “penny passengers” their boat could hold before sinking; thus adding a little “engineering fun” to their designs!
