HDES Grade 2 Force and Motion Experiments
Students in 2nd grade at Hillsboro-Deering Elementary School are working on an integrated nonfiction writing unit where they are completing force and motion experiments. The experiment includes running 3 trials to see if their hypothesis is correct. They have experimented with cars and ramps and have moved onto catapults. Each student completes their experiment and writes a lab report including a materials page, hypothesis and problem page, the procedure in order, the data from their observations and their conclusions.
Grades K and 1 get a visit from the dentist!

School-Wide Behavior Expectations
In a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS), Tier 1 supports and interventions are the most effective way to help address student needs. Having a clear system of behavior expectations is one of the most important Tier 1 interventions because it is the foundation of a positive school culture.
At HDES, we use the CARES program for our school’s behavior expectations. CARES stands for Cooperation, Assertion, Responsibility, Empathy and Self-Control. During our morning meetings and throughout the school day, we teach each CARES expectation and practice the skills needed to meet them in our classroom, hallways, cafeteria and playground. We also incorporate CARES into our school routines, activities and events throughout the year. In February, we also have a CARES Carnival full of fun activities to teach and celebrate our positive school culture.
If you would like more information about CARES at HDES, please visit (or contact)....
