What Our Lions Are Learning
In 7th grade, our Lions are studying about the skeletal system in Science, expressions and equations in Math, talking about the Cold War in Social Studies, and working on projects in their mystery unit in ELA.
In 8th grade, our Lions are learning about the 1950s in Social Studies, working on poetry in ELA, studying health and biology in Science, and working with equations in Math.
See if your Lion can tell you about the activities they've done to master their standards!
