In the Classroom...
Ms. Corso's Honors U.S. History Class WWI Battle Simulation 
This week was a very exciting one in Ms. Corso's Honors U.S. History class! All week the students have been learning about the United States' involvement in World War I, and the learning culminated in a "mock-WWI battle" simulation. The class was divided up into two "teams," the Entente (United States, Russia, Great Britain and France) and the Alliance (Austria-Hungary, Germany and Italy). The goal of the game was to toss paper balls into the opposing teams' trench without being seen or hit by an incoming paper ball. There were obstacles that the students had to strategize with their peers in order to overcome, such as no man's land, barbed wire fences, gas attacks and a loss of contact with their reinforcements! 
Students learned what life was like in the trenches, and how this form of warfare caused long, drawn out stalemates to occur, such as the Somme Offensive in 1916. The class enjoyed the kinesthetic activity and truly gained an unforgettable learning experience with their peers. Ms. Corso wants to thank all of them for their cooperation and sportsmanship along with all of their hard work this year in Honors U.S. History!

Student Council Leadership Retreat...
On March 21st, Mrs. Egan and Ms. Corso took the Student Council on a wonderful leadership retreat! First, the students spent the morning upstairs in the library learning leadership skills and reflecting with their peers on all of the great work they have done thus far in the school year.  Then, the group traveled to Chelsea Piers in Stamford, CT for a seminar in leadership and team building. Not only did the students hone their communication skills, but they combined their team efforts in competitive game-play scenarios. As a reward for their hard work, the students then were able to play games such as kickball, dodgeball, batting cages, and even climb a rock wall!
  The student council gained leadership training, a team-building experience, and wonderful memories shared with their peers!
