5th Grade News In June, Mrs. Smeyers and Mrs. Seetaram along with their 5th grade students hosted a Probability Math Carnival in the courtyard of Clarendon School. These students worked hard for three weeks on their project based learning activity by being in charge of their learning by creating ideas, planning with group members, preparing materials, and finally, being carnival game hosts explaining the probability of each of their games. Many teachers and students stopped by and enjoyed seeing the students commitment to their work and listening to them explaining about the probability and chances of winning the game! The students brought probability skills to life at this fun-filled math event!

Clarendon Girls Circle members read to kindergarten and first grade classes Members of Girls Circle read children’s stories featuring characters with hobbies and play preferences that are often associated with members of the opposite gender. The girls have been working on several projects related to challenging gender stereotyping in our culture. They are passionate about this topic and were eager to spread the message to the school’s youngest students, that children should feel free to be themselves and to accept and respect everyone.
