Fifth-grade students have been studying biomes and the ecosystems that exist within them. Using the landforms created by the fourth graders, the fifth graders researched the environment of their assigned biome and identified the types of producers, consumers, and decomposers that live there. Pictured are students creating models of the plants and animals that inhabit their biome. This collaborative project between the fourth and fifth graders has been a great learning experience, and we can't wait to see the final results!

Mount Everett AP Spanish students traveled to Albany for a cultural immersion experience, first attending a captivating Flamenco dance performance and then savoring authentic Colombian cuisine at a traditional restaurant.
The NMC Pre-K class had a wonderful time on their first field trip! They visited the town library where Mrs. O'Brien read them a captivating story. The children also had the opportunity to choose books to explore.
Next, the class strolled over to the Mill River Post Office. There, they learned how to buy a stamp and mail a letter to their own homes. The excitement was palpable as they sent their letters on their way.
The adventure continued at the Mill River General Store. Maddie, the kind owner, gave the children a tour and even gave them special treats. They learned about local honey and other products made from it. The children are eagerly anticipating a visit to the farm in the spring.

Students in Dr. Von Ruden's STEM class are designing, building, and testing their own Rube Goldberg alarm clock. Named after American cartoonist Rube Goldberg, this is a chain reaction–type machine or contraption intentionally designed to perform a simple task in an indirect and overly complicated way. Stay tuned for a behind-the-scenes video and the finished product!
A NOTE FROM THE POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY COUNCIL:
Building good habits can transform your life! Here are a few tips to make them stick:
1. Start Small: Focus on one habit at a time. Small steps lead to big changes!
2. Set Clear Goals: Define what you want to achieve and why it matters to you.
3. Create a Routine: Incorporate your new habit into your daily schedule to make it a natural part of your life.
4. Track Your Progress: Use a journal or an app to celebrate your milestones, no matter how small.
5. Stay Accountable: Share your goals with a friend or join a community to keep each other motivated.
6. Be Patient: Remember, it takes time to build lasting habits. Don’t be too hard on yourself!

A NOTE FROM THE POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY COUNCIL:
Positive Self Talk:
A great way to set yourself up for success, mental or physical, is positive self-talk. Saying things like “I’m going to fail this test” or “I do everything wrong” sets you up for failure and is a self-fulfilling prophecy. But going completely and unrealistically positive also sets yourself up for failure and false confidence. So first ground your breath and say realistic affirmations, and set realistic plans. Say things like “I’m going to get these chores done because that is what I am most physically able to do” or “I’m going to pass this test because I have studied as much as I could.” Setting realistic expectations is the key to positive self-talk and leads to a more successful life.
