Mr. Tester's 8th graders have started their presentations for their North American Native Research Project. More students will present next week. These were the brave students who volunteered to go first!
Mr. Taylor's students have been studying ancient Mesopotamia. They recently learned about the Epic of Gilgamesh. On Friday, they tried their hand at cuneiform writing using clay and toothpicks. Mr. Taylor gave them a reference sheet of various symbols that stood for letter combinations. They worked hard on their messages!
Mr. Underwood's coding class was busy designing individual projects for the 3D printer. They are also designing some surprises we will share out at a later date! To be continued... 😉

From Mrs. Dove:
"7th grade STEAM started their rocket unit by building straw rockets. We then moved on to stomp rockets and ended the unit with 2 liter bottle rockets using air pressure. Mr. Edington even got in on the fun!"
From Mrs. White:
"My students visit the library every other week. Today while waiting for classmates to choose books and check out, Garrett decided to read a picture book to his classmates, just like their earlier years."
Mrs. Hammers was able to observe 3rd graders using their multiplication strategies today!
