Kindergarten and 1st grade had a special visitor today. The staff of Eppard Orthodontics brought the Tooth Fairy to visit and educate the students about healthy food choices and good oral hygiene.
It is Virginia Kindness Week! Kindness Week recognizes that simple day-to-day acts of kindness enable our schools, communities, and state to be a kinder, safer, healthier and more inclusive place to live, work, learn and play.
Students are traveling through time learning about influential people in history. Ozobots are small robots that can follow lines and detect colors. These robots (and students) learned about Harriet Tubman, Jackie Robinson, Ruby Bridges, Martin L. King, Jr., and Barack Obama.
Random Act of Kindness Day is February 17th. Farmington's SCA members made this display to help spread the positive message. They also helped to hang posters as we celebrate bold leaders in Black History this month.
To become more aware of the effects of water pollution, students participated in a simulated dolphin autopsy. They made observations, took measurements, and investigated the dolphin's external and internal features. They ultimately concluded that pollution killed the dolphin.

This group of 3rd grade students worked together to engineer a Bit:Bot car. A Bit:Bot is a two-wheel drive robot vehicle that is controlled by a micro:bit. Their engineering skills and communication while collaborating where amazing. They are going to continue to work on their driving abilities.

A huge THANK YOU to our PTO and our wonderful parents who treated our staff with "OUR STAFF IS SOUP-ER" luncheon. It warmed our hearts and our bellies!
Ms. Tharp's 3rd grade reading class got to solve their first breakout! They worked down to the buzzer and enjoyed a sweet treat as their reward.
The World Cup may be over but excitement can still be found. 3rd graders in Ms. Harris' group created circuits to play soccer using Makey Makeys. They invited the principals in for some friendly competition. GOAL!
Mrs. McMahon's 3rd grade class had a very unique visitor today. She brought in a Virginia black bear rug to show the students the different traits predators have and the adaptations black bears have to help them survive in Virginia. The class has named him "Big Joe"!
This morning, 4th and 5th grade SCA members worked on a surprise for the staff next month. This is a combined surprise between our SCA and PTO. Shhhh! Don't tell the staff!
