6th Grade
On another note, Dual Language students from Northwood were also involved with Woodstock Public Library in creating a display for the Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). Their work on this altar or ofrenda could be admired at the public library for several weeks.
7th Grade News!
Dual Language Science has started our unit on Heredity. We will learn how characteristics are passed from one generation to another, how living things are classified and how these characteristics help living things survive.
8th Grade News!
Science classes have been exploring physical properties of matter. Most recently, we examined DENSITY using both solids and liquids. Students found the mass and volume of 4 different liquids in order to calculate their densities. After calculating the density of each liquid, they could put them in an order that they wouldn’t mix. This interactive notebook page shows how students explained what happened in the experiment. (Picture on the left)
Students also calculated the density of 9 cubes each made from differing materials and then used that information to try to identify what kind of matter the cube was made from. (Picture on the right)

Rescue Readers Reading Program
Helping Paws Woodstock, IL Animal Shelter has launched Rescue Readers Reading Program that lets kids age 6 and up become a hero as they read to shy dogs and cats to make them more comfortable around humans. The activity has a dual benefit: It increases the animal’s chances for adoption while improving the participant’s reading skills. All Rescue Readers must attend a training session with their parent or guardian. A parent or guardian also must be present as the child reads to the animals. To register and for details, call Helping Paws at 815-338-4400.
