SPOTLIGHT ON WEB ACTIVITIES: A special shout out to our 8th grade WEB leaders under the direction of Ms. Morrison who helped to welcome our new students to campus.

SPOTLIGHT ON STEM 1: Students in Mr. Miko's STEM 1 class began their first engineering project by building towers as a team. Teams spent several days of attempts with iterations of original ideas.

SPOTLIGHT ON HISTORY SOCIAL SCIENCE: Students in Mrs. McDiarmid's social science class had an opportunity to think like a historian. Students worked with a partner to place a set of artifacts in chronological order like an archeologist.There were no dates so along the way they discussed the reasons and strategy for their decisions. Historical and cultural context along with materials, complexity and technology were all considered.

SPOTLIGHT ON GETTING TO KNOW YOU!: Teachers across the campus spent time getting to know students. Team building activities gave students a chance to meet classmates and their teachers.

SPOTLIGHT ON SCIENCE: Students in sixth grade science participated in a "Saving Fred" team building activity. It was fun to see the smiles in the students' eyes.

Students in Mr. Maya's science class participated in the toothpaste activity to help build collaboration and teamwork. Did you know that once toothpaste is out of the tube, it is difficult to get it back in? Toothpaste is just like unkind words ...once you say them it is difficult to take them back. This was an activity to visually represent how important it is to stop and think before saying something unkind.
