Lawnwood Elementary kindergarten, first grade, and second grade science scholars presented a “Solar System Throw Down”.   Planets, stars, the moon, an asteroid, a meteor, the milky way and even the “black hole” were given bragging rights to explain to the audience why “each” reigns supreme in the galaxy. The students researched their information, wrote a monologue,  built the costume, and created a character with “attitude” to the delight of parents and peers.

Lawnwood teachers provide students with hands-on science inquiry lessons. Ms. Jacob’s fifth-grade students are learning how heat and pressure can change rocks. Students applied heat and pressure to starburst candies which deepened their understanding of weathering and erosion.

All LWN families were invited to attend our Annual Hispanic Heritage Family Night.  Together we learned about the contributions of influential Hispanic Americans like Roberto Clemente, Sonia Sotomayor, and Cesar Chavez.  A delicious taco dinner was provided as we celebrated Hispanic/Latin music and culture. It was another awesome LWN family night!  GO LEOPARDS!

Every VPK – Grade 4 class selected a Hispanic Country.  Students were engaged as they learned about Hispanic cultures, foods, traditions, and music.  The teachers and students created a display board to showcase what they learned about their country.  A special thank you goes out to Laurie Boyer, D’Jion Jackson, Shemair Dorelus, Kim Jay, Jodie Certosimo, and Michael McCarthy for coming out to view the displays and select the winning classes. Overall, it was a great opportunity for students to work collaboratively and learn about Hispanic Countries.  GO LEOPARDS!

On Saturday, April 12, 2025, several of Ms. Bosque’s fifth-grade students participated in the Elementary Science Showcase at the St. Lucie Public Schools District Office. Completing a science project deepens students’ understanding of a scientific investigation, and it requires them to apply scientific inquiry, a multifaceted activity. The processes of science inquiry include formulating investigable questions, constructing investigations, collecting appropriate data, evaluating the meaning of that data, and communicating the results.

Our students worked hard on their projects, and … Read More
