50 days of first grade! 😎 We celebrated with some 50’s themed decor and glasses for the kids to wear. The favorite activity for the day was that the students wrote how to make a root beer float and then got to follow the steps and make root beer floats!

In 8th grade Science, students completed a project about a planet in the solar system. Students were able to choose within their group from a project menu board. Some of the choices included: make a model, create trading cards, perform a rap song, write a children's book, create a travel brochure, build a habitable structure or produce a movie trailer. Here are a few of the final projects!
