🧪🔬 6th Grade Science is getting hands-on with mixtures and solutions!

In Mrs. LeBlanc’s science class, students investigated whether M&M’s are a mixture or a solution. Their favorite part? Watching the “m” float to the top! 🤯🍫

Since the “m” remained visible and separated from the other materials, students determined that M&M’s are a mixture. How cool is that?!

Students will continue exploring different mixtures and identifying their properties through hands-on labs. They’ll also investigate whether mixtures are heterogeneous or homogeneous based on their observations.

Science is definitely more fun when you can experiment with your candy! 🧪🍬

Wayfinder Corner

Belonging & Connection

This week, students will explore the meaning of belonging and how our connections with others help create a positive, supportive school community. Students will consider what it means to feel accepted, included, and valued for who they are, while identifying the people, experiences, and relationships that help them feel connected. Through collaborative discussion and reflection, students will build an understanding of how strong connections foster trust, confidence, participation, and a greater sense of belonging for everyone.
