Alpine Third Graders began their exploration of Michigan geography by recently visiting the sand dunes at P.J. Hoffmaster State Park and nearby Lake Michigan. Students learned how the glaciers that moved over Michigan during the Ice Age formed our great lakes and sand dunes. Alpine third graders enjoyed exploring a dune model and displays of mammals, reptiles, birds, and amphibians that make their home in the dune habitat. In addition, students were able to perform an experiment with magnets to discover magnetite in our sand. The favorite part of their trip, however, was climbing the sand dunes and running back down into the strong winds blowing off Lake Michigan! |

Technology is playing of a major role at Alpine Elementary. Using technology just for the sake of saying you use technology is not going to work. We, at Alpine, believe that technology must be used to enhance what the students are learning in class. One way in which we will be utilizing technology this year is through something called “QR Coding”. Each class will have the opportunity to participate in the QR Code our Library Challenge. Mrs. Bush wrote and received a grant from MACUL to purchase 6 i-pod touches for the building to use to help them accomplish this challenge. The i-pod touches will be used to make and view the student videos. |

Approximately twenty five girls in grades three through five participated in the Girls On The Run (GOTR) program once again this year. The GOTR program benefits our students as it teaches them about individual strength, team participation, community involvement and healthy habits. The girls met on Tuesdays and Thursdays over the past few months to get ready for the season ending 5K run which was held on May 19th. The girls did a wonderful job putting forth their personal best and showing friendship to others throughout the season. |
