In Mr. Harre's Social Studies classes, the students are learning about Ancient Egypt by constructing a Sphinx. They also wrote their names in a cartouche with hieroglyphics.
In Ms. Nagy's science classes, students are learning about weather. We are explicitly talking about weather anomalies and the implications of global warming on a global scale as well as local impacts. Students are also taking turns pretending to be meteorologists as they learn about extreme weather and how to look at radar maps and storm fronts.
Mrs. Marchesani's math classes are finishing the percent unit. They are working hard on finding percent of a number, which will help with finding discounts at stores.

Mr. Dougherty's math classes just finished converting between fractions, decimals and percents. They also completed some of the leveling tests for next year. They our currently working on adding, subtracting and multiplying integers.
Ms. Holdsworth's and Ms. Hall's ELA classes have entered the world of the 1600s as Sam Collier has begun his journey to the New World in the book Blood on the River. They are enjoying the book and continuing to hone their skills as they look forward to the start of 7th grade.
