CAS Event - World of Water

Evaporation and the Power of Steam

How did historic engineers use our water cycle, specifically evaporation and condensation, to power machines?  The water cycle and the 3 states of matter coincide in many different ways.  Evaporated steam is a gas so powerful that it was the sole source of power for locomotives, pumping engines, and ships.

Math Curriculum Presentation for Parents

—Monday, February 10, 2025


One of the goals of the Burr School Improvement Plan this year is to strengthen home/school partnerships by providing opportunities to develop an understanding of school programs and curriculum. Earlier this year, we shared information about the new EL literacy curriculum, and now we look forward to sharing the work teachers and students are doing in math.

Join Ms. Feroleto to deepen your understanding of math instruction at Burr. She will provide an overview of a typical math block, explain how ST Math is incorporated into the curriculum, and discuss strategies for differentiation to meet diverse student needs. Additionally, she will go over the new STAR Math assessment, including how it is administered and how to interpret the results. To further support your child(ren)’s math learning, Ms. Feroleto will also share valuable resources you can use at home. 

Date: Monday, February 10, 2025
Place: Burr Cafeteria
Time: 8:20 AM

For those unable to attend in-person, here is a link to listen virtually.
