âïžđ± How does light help plants grow? đŠ
Mrs. Simpsonâs 5th grade scientists are investigating this question by using flashlights and solar toys to explore light energy! Students are observing how light provides energy and using evidence from their investigation to help explain why plants need light to grow. đŹđ§
Weâre learning that plants need more than just water and air to grow â they also need energy from light! âïžđ±
Go Panthers!! đŸ

Students in Mr. Atkinson's Robotics class are building and testing out their Clawbots!
Through this activity students are learning how to build a piece of automation, control it remotely, repair it when it breaks, and work cooperatively on a team!
Great job, everyone!

Students in Mr. Glidewell's science class tested their reaction times while discovering how their Nervous Systems respond to stimuli! â±ïžđđ§
Learning Ratios Through Collaboration:
Mrs. Glidewellâs 6th grade math classes worked together during a card sort activity from the Illustrative Mathematics curriculum. Students collaborated in small groups to match ratio diagrams with the correct ratio sentences, explaining their thinking and checking their matches with teammates.
Activities like this give students the opportunity to strengthen their understanding of ratios while also building communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Great learning happens when students think, talk, and work together!

Science + Reading = Learning in Action! đ
Mrs. Simpsonâs 5th grade scientists are putting their reading and evidence skills to work! Students partnered up to read about our feathered friends, exploring their habitats, what they eat, and how the food they consume provides the energy they need to survive. đŠđŠ
As they read, students worked together to find evidence, discuss their thinking, and support their ideas with information from the text.
And this reading is more than just practice⊠đ Itâs giving our scientists a hint about an exciting lab coming NEXT WEEK! đŠđ„Œ
Stay tuned to see what our young scientists discover! đ€©

This past week, Mrs. Stellâs 5th-grade scientists turned into ecosystem detectives! đ±đ”ïž
After noticing that their classroom nurse logs were "disappearing," they had to figure out exactly where that matter was going! To solve the mystery, students investigated 10 weeks of real scientific data from a termite colony living inside a closed system nurse log. By analyzing the data, our students tracked exactly how matter moves through an ecosystemâtracing it from the log, to the termite queen and workers, and even into their waste!
We love seeing our students use real data to think like true ecologists. đđ

Mrs. Perry's 7th grade English classes enjoyed a presentation from their guest speaker, Christopher Staton, on World War II and the Holocaust.
The presentation provided students with additional historical context to deepen their understanding of the novel The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.
