Mrs. Amber's 7th Grade science class did a “Speed Dating” activity. Each student was given a card with a metal or nonmetal from the Periodic Table. Through several rounds with different partners each round, they had to tell me whether their elements would “match” up to form a covalent or ionic bond.
Mrs. Kara's 8th grade English students completed a gallery walk of Figurative Language using quotes from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

Mrs. Amber’s 7th grade Science students have begun exploring elements and their properties! 🧪🔬 Students are making conjectures about the differences between types of elements and using their observations to sort groups based on common characteristics. Through this activity, they are developing their ability to identify patterns, make predictions, and use evidence to support their thinking. We love seeing our students think like scientists as they explore new concepts and make connections! Great job, 7th grade Science! 👏
Mr. Tate’s Animal Science students have been learning about the digestive systems of different animals. 🐄🐴🐑
To demonstrate their understanding, students took their learning outside and got creative by using chalk to illustrate animals and showcase what they’ve learned about their digestive systems—all while enjoying the cool shade! ☀️🖍️
We love seeing students turn what they’ve learned into fun, creative, hands-on activities! Great job, Animal Science! 👏
Mr. Maxwell’s Biology students have been busy exploring life on a microscopic level! 🔬🌱
Students used microscopes to examine pond water and discover the tiny organisms living within it. They then took their investigation outdoors, breaking open dead tree limbs to uncover the miniature ecosystems hidden inside.
We love seeing our students getting hands-on with science and discovering that there’s a whole world of life hiding in places we might normally overlook! 🦠🔬🌳
