Ms. Dobbs' 7th grade social studies students learn all about Diwali- a Hindu Festival of Lights which was celebrated this past weekend. Students participated in a virtual escape room where they were tasked with completing codes & challenges that could only be answered by reading and learning information about the holiday. Students loved this unique activity and learning more about the Hindu culture!
7th grade Spanish students of Señorita MacFayden's class visit the library to present their Dia De Los Muertos projects! Students have spent weeks learning about the traditions associated with Day of the Dead, researching famous Hispanic and Latino historical figures, and working to create skeletons representative of these individuals lives & contributions. Today students participated in a gallery walk to view their classmates designs and learn a little more information about these historical figures. ¡Buen trabajo!
Story Building @ Smith:
7th grade students in Mrs. Csengeto’s class went through the writing process in our week of immersion. They worked in groups and created a realistic short story then shared their drafts with their peer audience.
It's the season for giving! Student Council's Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive will be NEXT WEEK, Monday November 13th through Friday November 17th. The homeroom with the most donations in each grade will win a donut breakfast! Check out the flyer for items to bring🥖🌽🥕🍽️🦃
Smith School will be CLOSED on November 9th and 10th for the NJEA Convention. School will reopen on Monday, November 13th. Enjoy the long weekend!
Señora Stokes, Señora Kenduck, Señorita MacFadyen & Señora Merritt are celebrating Día de los Muertos and eating the traditional dish of pan de muertos in their classes!
The mystery has been solved! Word in the halls is that Coach Blacido stole Dr. Esdale's shoes when he saw them left in the locker room after Mr. Christiansen 'forgot' them. He thought they were a gift from someone because the RHS Boys Soccer team is doing so well and he has a major game tonight! He wanted to wear them for good luck.
Although Mr. Urbs had his eye on them, they weren't the right size. Mrs. Morfing, Mrs. Ung and Mrs. Csengeto all had solid reasons to steal the shoes, but ultimately, they were outsmarted by Mr. Christiansen, who hid them in the locker room where no one could find them (or so he thought!).
Thank you everyone that participated and made this a fun event for Team 7-1. Also, thank you to Dr. Esdale for providing us with his shoes!
The Smith Best Buddies chapter had their first event! Our teams used their communication and problem solving skills to complete a scavenger hunt around the building! It was a huge success and we can’t wait for next time!
Reflection is key to lifelong learning: In sixth-grade social studies, we recently completed our first performance task of the year. Today, students spent the period reflecting on their learning before participating in a community circle💭

Smith Staff goes all out in Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Our faculty showed their support for this important cause and collected money towards Relay For Life
Last week, Ms. Garcia & Ms. Kelly hosted Edgar Allan Poe day in the library! Students across all grades were invited in to learn about the American Gothic Horror author, hear guest readers tell the classic Tell Tale Heart, and watch The Simpson's adaptation of one of his most notable works- The Raven! It was the perfect way to get into the Spooky Spirit

Students in 7th grade science conducted an experiment of Electrolysis (Running an electric current) through water! By doing this, students separated water into its separate parts, giving us hydrogen and oxygen gas. Check out the video demonstration by Ms. Broderick! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p95nvvKGCcre_e0iYOdi0SLiziqbF70_/view?usp=sharing
