Students in science classes were able to get hands on practice with the Scientific Method during our first lab... Be sure to ask your student about their hypothesis & findings on UV exposure! Students are wrapping-up our Science Basics unit by applying their knowledge on a formative assessment. 

This week, we started our first unit: scale and scale copies. Student's explored what a scale copy is through a shrinky dink activity. Students were assessed on their knowledge of identifying characteristics of a scale copy. Ask your student to see their shrinky dink!!

Social studies classes began their Geography unit this week. Students are challenged to use geography skills and work as a group to find Blackbeard's treasure. Next week, students will assess on these skills. 

Students covered the importance of Patriot Day. Students have the opportunity to interview someone at home about their experiences. Ask your student! 

"Community and Belonging" are the topics for our first unit in English class. Students read and annotated a non-fiction text that discussed the definition of community and why it is important. On Friday, students completed a vocabulary quiz. 

Everyone is excited for next week. This upcoming week is dedicated to "The Outsiders" in ELA.
