The following post was contributed by Ms. Modena - " Exploring Science with Ms. Modena's Kindergarten Class! " Today, our little engineers took charge, piloting the OpenSciEd science program to cool down the blacktop. Learning that engineers make plans to solve problems, we drew designs to tackle the hot blacktop issue! 🎨🌐✨ The power of imagination and careful thinking in action! 🌟👩🔬👨🔬 #LittleEngineers #ProblemSolversInTraining"
Great work Ms. Modena, and the incredibly intelligent kindergarteners of Hillside Public Schools!
Hey Hillside, did you know that it's American Education Week? American Education Week happens annually the week before Thanksgiving! "Each day of the week has its own theme, during which public-school community members and workers are celebrated! "Festivities honor the team of people who work in our nation’s public schools, everyone from the bus driver and classroom teacher to the cafeteria worker and administrative staff, plus countless others!"
Today we recognize and celebrate Education Support Professionals! Be sure to thank the workers of Hillside Public Schools wherever you see them!

Shout out to Ms. Altenor at Ola Edwards Community School for sharing these photos! Students collaborated to test how different surfaces affect the speed and distance of a ball. Students created a kick system to simulate a soccer kick on different surfaces. They tested a golf ball's distance after a "kick" on sandpaper, carpet, and "wax-covered" carpet to replicate a soccer ball being rolled on concrete, grass, and a gym floor! Students chose which variables stayed the same vs. which ones changed. Great work Ms. Altenor, Science Department, and all of our teachers for continuously providing fun, interactive learning!
