with miniature versions of ice hockey, the luge, and other Winter

studied about the athletes that participated in each event. Students
kept track of individual sports as the Olympics progressed and
reported results and findings to their classmates.

LFES 3 rd Grade ACE students are studying Crime Scene Investigations and the role of human DNA in the
process. To further their knowledge, students performed experiments in which they extracted and
analyzed DNA from strawberries. Students took advantage of this opportunity to make real-world
connections to their classroom experiences.
