Our Sharks rock!
Maddie did an amazing job coding her Sphero through a multi-step task. Great work!
Mrs. Hill’s class wrapped up their unit on body systems by doing a dissection of a frog allowing the student to really visualize the parts of the internal anatomy. We were able to make a lot of comparisons between a frogs anatomy and our own and students came away with a much better understanding of how all the “parts” (organs) fit and work together.
Many thanks to Mrs. Friend and friends/8th grade moms for the delicious, and very thoughtful, breakfast for the staff this morning! It was so appreciated on this February Friday...thank you!!!
In Mrs. Dapper's Social Studies class, students searched for clues in the classroom to solve the mystery of which historical figure committed a crime along The Silk Road. Students had to utilize their knowledge about the history of ancient China and the Silk Road to figure out whodunnit!
Thanks so much to our amazing Technology Dept for everything they do! Nothing says "we appreciate you" like a wiggly shark!
Thanks so much to our awesome bus drivers! Happy LOVE THE BUS WEEK!
