At Margaret Chase Smith, Ranger Laura came to talk to Ms. Brown’s class on Google Meets last week about the weather and climate in Acadia National Park. She also discussed other national parks around the United States. Students learned about the water cycle, different clouds, and tools to measure various kinds of weather!

All Margaret Chase Smith classrooms have positive incentive plans to encourage expected behaviors while in school. Students decide to make a plan as a class and choose a reward they want to achieve. Last week, three classes agreed on a “Yes Day,” meaning students were allowed to make suggestions for the day while still participating in instructional activities.

Last week, 3rd graders at Margaret Chase Smith were visited by “guest teachers,” Mrs. Buzzbee and Mrs. Marigold, and had a chance to participate in a hands-on pollination simulation. Students built flowers and labeled the parts that are vital for plant reproduction. Students then “buzzed” from plant to plant, searching for nectar, collecting and spreading pollen to other plants’ stick stigmas. They noticed the pollen from multiple plants left behind, meaning those flowers could produce seeds.
