Last Year
Snow or not, we keep moving right along here at school...the Auction, the Play, Spring Break, and Easter are all coming at us quickly! And please remember to send in your registration for next year before next Friday's deadline...
Our Diversity Committee put on a wonderful month-long celebration of Black History by highlighting a few of the many contributions African-Americans have made to our nation in many different areas. A school-wide celebration was enjoyed with different activities for the entire student body!
Classroom activities included using a fantastic learning tool called Gimkit. The 6th grade is shown here playing the game using a Team format to test their knowledge of earthquake terms like epicenter, hanging wall, and liquefaction. Ask your student how it works because it is way too detailed to explain here! But I think everyone will agree it is a fun and useful way to reinforce learning...
Old school learning can also be as fun and effective, too, as demonstrated by the 8th grade as they study chemical reactions and the Law of Conservation of Mass by balancing chemical equations. Or the 7th grade determining the probability of particular genotypes and phenotypes through the use of Punnett squares.
