RANDALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL after school science pupils are busy

The Randall Elementary School fourth grade afterschool Science Enrichment program is from March 5 - April 30.

The first lab, students conducted a science unit on OOBLECK. OOBLECK is a mysterious substance that, at times, acts like a liquid, while at other times acts like a solid.

Students discovered the properties of OOBLECK while making literary connections. Students held a scientific convention to discuss and analyze their findings, where they refined communication skills.

Lastly, they became engineers and designed a spacecraft that can land successfully on an ocean of OOBLECK and then take off again without getting stuck.

The second lab the students will become "CSI" investigators. Student detectives will conduct many hands-on forensic science tests on evidence found at a fictional "crime scene." Any one of these tests is interesting and powerful in itself together they add up to a powerful and motivating experience that the children will remember for years.

Thank you to teachers Dana Hale and Stacy Burns for running the Science Enrichment program.

RANDALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL celebrates 'Randall Players' group

Randall Players is an after school drama group for third-fifth grade students at Clarence Randall Elementary School.

This unique program offers after school tutoring in the areas of reading, listening and speaking. Each year students begin in October with classroom lessons that are designed around team-building games, and reading and writing strategies.

Teachers communicate drama points such as stage directions, reading lines with expression and what strategies make good readers and writers. Students participate using vocal and performing arts skills.

Grade Level Content Expectations/Common Core elements are covered in the areas of language arts, speaking, and listening as Randall Players start rehearsal in December and culminates in three evening performances in February.

Some of the 25 years of performances: “Twas the Week After Christmas”; “Space Pirates”; “Movin' Thru Michigan”; “A Hero Lies in You”; “Trapped on the Food Plates”; “Fairly Fractured Fairytales”; “We Are Monsters”; and “Musicville.”

This year’s play was "Press Start.” Since 2015 the program has purchased scripts from Beat by Beat Press. Prior to that the students wrote their own plays.

Randall won the Michigan School of Educational Excellence Award in 2003 for the Randall Players program.
