Fall 2025

Coming Soon! 

FALL 2024 & SPRING 2025

Students have been working hard creating models of the Wonders of the World. Students were able to chose their wonder and also how they wanted to construct their model. To finish off their project they were tasked with sharing their information with the class.  Students also created their own National Park Arrowhead to represent one of the dozens of National Parks in our country. 

NOVEMBER 2021

7th graders submitted their final business plan before the November 7th deadline! I’m proud of their hard work and perseverance.  

November 8-12 was STEAM Week. STEAM stands for Science Technology Engineering Art Math. Students chose from a variety of STEAM activities that week including KEVA planks and Makey Makey kits. 

On days students were not practicing for Quiz Bowl, they are "uninventing." Students brought in broken items and electronics to "un-invent" and take apart.  They asked many questions and have discovered a lot about items they're taking apart.

OCTOBER 2021

Seventh graders are still working hard creating their business plans and prototypes of their products.  This month, students took a break from their work and visited a local West Fork business called Shire Post Mint.  This business operated online until they opened their brick and mortar building this month. We are blessed to have such a unique business in West Fork! Here is a link to their webpage https://www.shirepost.com

Students were introduced to Quiz Bowl and the buzzer system.  We started to practice for the Quiz Bowl once a week.  We will have a combination of 7th and 8th graders competing on January 14, 2021.

SEPTEMBER 2021

This month, seventh graders decided to compete in the Y.E.S. for Arkansas Business Plan competition.  This project gave students real-world experience in which they had to come up with a brand-new product that could make them money. Then students had to create a business plan, keeping in mind how much money they could make compared to their expenses.  The class divided themselves up into two groups and came up with different ideas to submit for the competition.  This entrepreneurship project took a lot of work and is due in early November.   Here is the link for more information about the competition. https://arcapital.com/yesforarkansas/

AUGUST 2021

We started off the new school year with several team building activities and STEM challenges. We spent time going over expectations and the students discussed what they wanted to learn and do this year.  Students also created "Selfie Sculptures" to help them understand their social and emotional needs and their learning styles.
