In Ms. Dooley's class students documented the conditions outside before, during and after the eclipse to compare, contrast and discuss what they observed and how it affected their surroundings. They also enjoyed "space" themed snacks and a fun competitive game of "pin the moon on the sun"!

Welcome back, Edison! 🐢 After a two-month hibernation, Mrs. Simmonds' Russian Tortoise classroom pet is slowly emerging from his slumber, much to the delight of his classmates! As part of his post-hibernation care, students took Edison outside, where he warmed up in the sun, stretched his legs, and enjoyed a well-deserved snack.
As a Russian Tortoise, Edison has reached his full size, but that doesn't take away the joy he brings to the classroom. His small stature allows for easy handling and interaction with students, making him an ideal companion for learning about responsibility, empathy, and the wonders of the animal kingdom.

Who can get the most signatures? Students in Mrs. Sublett's classes are playing the game “Find Someone Who Knows” while studying Latin America. This activity can help students appreciate the diversity of cultures, histories, and perspectives of Latin America, and learn the value of working together to have a broader understanding of the world around them! Great job, Mrs. Sublett. We love when teachers teach outside the box!

Mrs. Hammack's class made magic rubber eggs! They learned about chemical reactions that change properties of matter. They used food dye to add colors to vinegar and left the eggs for three days in it. The shell dissolved and left a beautiful bouncy raw egg! How cool is that lesson?!

Mrs. Rahn’s STEM students ventured into spying & espionage studying cyber security. Students learned Morse code and built a circuit device to send messages across the room to one another. They also built an enigma machine to code and de-code messages. Professions in Cyber Security are in very high demand and students learned about the many career areas in this field.

Students in Mrs. Newbury's classes have spent the last few weeks learning about genetics and how different traits get passed from one generation to another. To show mastery, students had to combine chromosomal traits and decode what their "spud buddy" would look like. They then were tasked with building their spud according to those genes.
Hands-on projects like these make learning more effective, and it helps students to build a strong foundation in scientific concepts. Good job to Mrs. Newbury and her students involved in this innovative and engaging lesson! HOW CREATIVE!

Students from Dr. Young and Ms. Fudge’s classes are debating about hot topics in todays society in preparation for writing argumentative essays. By doing these debates, students are learning to think critically, develop their communication skills, and explore different opinions on important issues. These types of exercises are an integral part of their preparation for writing argumentative essays- and preparing them for state testing. It helps students form well-reasoned arguments and understand the importance of supporting their claims with evidence. And it's always fun to argue and debate each other!

It was a real "whodunnit" in our 8th grade English classes! English teachers developed an engaging and interactive approach to teaching argumentative writing by doing a murder mystery activity. For this activity, the students learn how to make a claim, use reasons to support the claim, and support the reasons with evidence by analyzing information, evaluating evidence, and formulating claims based on their findings. They become true detectives!
So the question remains... who did it? 🕵🏼♀️

We got to watch the Solar Eclipse! 🌘 Our students were in awe of watching this phenomenon! Watching a solar eclipse is truly awe-inspiring, and how cool that our students got to witness this astronomical event! Being able to observe the beauty and power of nature can be both humbling and educational. Plus, a little fresh air and sunshine is always a good thing!
