After conducting investigations like planetary geologists, Blockson scientists discovered evidence that water once flowed on Mars. This research is important because it helps us build the argument that Mars may have been habitable in the past. By analyzing landforms, comparing them to those on Earth, and studying real NASA data, our student scientists are piecing together the story of Mars’s geologic history and its potential to support life


Tras realizar investigaciones como geólogos planetarios, los científicos de Blockson descubrieron evidencia de que alguna vez fluyó agua en Marte. Esta investigación es importante porque nos ayuda a argumentar que Marte pudo haber sido habitable en el pasado. Mediante el análisis de las formaciones terrestres, comparándolas con las de la Tierra y estudiando datos reales de la NASA, nuestros estudiantes de ciencia están reconstruyendo la historia geológica de Marte y su potencial para albergar vida.

Blockson Fifth Grade Families,
Today, all 5th graders received new Chromebooks. If your child still has an old Chromebook or charger at home, please return it immediately to avoid being charged. Learners will use their Chromebooks every day, so remind them to charge them at night and bring them to school each morning. Thank you for being so supportive, and enjoy your weekend!

Hello Blockson Families! This is a friendly reminder that Back to School Night is TONIGHT, Thursday, from 6:00 to 7:30 PM. Come meet your teachers, learn about the subjects your children will be studying, and pick up some practical strategies to help support your learner at home. Together, we can take Blockson from good to great! During the evening, we’ll also have a large banner for families to sign. We invite you to write a short message in your native language—something uplifting for our learners to read and carry with them throughout the school year. And don’t worry—you’ll be home in plenty of time for the Eagles kickoff! See you Thursday evening!
