We started off the quarter by having our 6th graders create 3D designs using Tinkercad; our 7th graders learning the basics of Javascript on Khan Academy; and our 8th graders building a Lego EV3 robot, and coding it to accomplish some simple movement challenges.
6th Grade-Just finished their Foot Orthosis Project and have begun working on their Scale model house project.
7th Grade-Just finished their Brush bot activity and will be taking their knowledge to work on their Batman project.
8th Grade- Students are working on their Paper towel holder project. After designing their idea students need to bring it to life.

The first few weeks of the quarter have flown by! In Learning Lab, we spent our first week getting to know each other and setting goals for growth. Since then, students have jumped into some really interesting articles and learning activities. We’re already seeing strong effort and focus,great work so far, Learning Lab students! 🌟
Mr. Matsushita
This week our yearbook class attended the recognition ceremony in the auditorium! We took some pictures of the spectacular hula girls and they were exquisite, with a beautifully designed routine by Mrs. Vierra! Also at the 7th grade recognition ceremony Mrs. Kwon announced the gender and it looks like it is going to be a boy, so make sure to congratulate Mrs. Kwon! In addition to taking amazing pictures of so many amazing sports, extracurricular activities, clubs, and more, we are also working on creating the 2025-2026 yearbook cover so get ready for an amazing cover for the yearbook of the wheeler spartans!
