Everyone loves candy for Valentine's Day so 6th graders in Career Exploration had to use their creative thinking skills to figure out what candy bars were being described in interesting ways.




Ms. Valentine’s 7th graders used candy conversation hearts to model and compare theoretical and experimental probability. Students identified the sample space, conducted repeated trials, and calculated complementary probabilities to determine the likelihood of events. 💘🍬










In Mrs. Starline's language arts class, students took a deep dive into two utopian poems, working to determine each poem’s theme and analyze how that theme develops throughout the text. They looked closely at word choice, imagery, and structure to see how the authors build their message over time. From there, students made thoughtful connections between the poems and the novel Among the Hidden," comparing ideas about society, freedom, equality, and what makes a “perfect” world.

Students have been learning about the road leading to the Declaration of Independence by studying how the King of England treated the colonists and the events that pushed them toward rebellion. To demonstrate their understanding, the students (acting as the colonists) are creating breakup text messages to Britain and using Book Creator to present and explain their reasoning.






Today is School Resource Officer Appreciation Day and we have one of the best! Thank you Officer Hooven for everything you do!🚓

Mrs. Lee's 6th graders have been diving into the amazing world of cells and the invention of the microscope! Over the past week, students have been learning all about microscopes—identifying each part, understanding how it functions, and practicing how to properly and safely use one.
This day was especially exciting as students examined a variety of cells and specimens under the microscope. They were fascinated by the different slides, observing everything from a pumpkin stem to an insect leg.
