7th grade SS students have been working hard on their Real Estate Development Proposals . Their goal: to convince their fellow students to move to their colonies. Where do you want to live: New England, Middle, or Southern Colonies?
The softball team presented their favorite bus driver Debbie with a State medal.
Lots of tears were in the room. Debbie told the girls "I told you I would take you to state! You need to listen to me!" It was obvious how much Debbie appreciated the medal and the girls.
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!
Pep Band Rocked the House last Night!
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!

Can we create something new through chemical reactions? 5B & 5D students mixed various substances together to see which combinations made new things. Science is messy and fun!
8th graders during Latin Wednesday worked with Mis/Mit (to send) by transmitting their definitions and words across the room. Omit happened to be omitted which required an intermission from the activity to retrieve the omitted word.

3A and 3C worked on their graphing skills today by creating a class picture graph.
