CPR and the Red Kayak

Edgewater is a Title I School

Picture and article by Ms.. Riley, Fifth Grade Teacher

Nurse Cathy gave fifth graders an

introduction to CPR training after they

had read, Red Kayak, about a boy

who saved another boy's life. Some

of the students had some knowledge

of CPR, others had just seen it used

on television. Students were given

the opportunity to try CPR on Nurse

Cathy’s Annie. One of the key points

was to call for help first, and then if

the situation is safe, start CPR until

help arrives. Thank you to Nurse

Cathy for making learning fun! The

students enjoyed the lesson. Madeline Kern, 5th grader, looks over “Annie” as learning

about CPR.

The Fifth Graders in Mrs. Williamson’s 5th

grade class got a very hands-on experience

when they got to dissect owl pellets!

Sounds gross?!?! What is an owl pellet? An

owl pellet contains indigestible remains of an

owl’s meal. A pellet usually contains hair,

bones, fur and insect shells as bugs and small

rodents are common meals for owls. This owl

pellet dissection allowed students to see

what the owl ate, teaching them about

predators and prey and the food chain.

The 6th graders in Mrs. Williamson’s Social Studies class built their own volcanoes

as they were studying Mount Fuji in Japan. What a great hands on experience as

they watched them explode!

Third graders are learning about physical science this quarter.

Here are some pictures of a lesson that had students exploring

different properties of materials used for clothing, such as texture,

flexibility and absorbency. In the activity, called Mad Hatter,

students use this information to design and build a hat that protects

them from the sun.
