The sixth graders' medieval unit culminated in a day of festivities! We held a banquet, eating lunch together, holding a fabulous talent show and playing a game of capture the flag, having challenged another grade level to a duel. We appreciate our parents and support staff for their help in setting up and cleaning up as well as the students for their hard work. Check out Facebook for lots more photos!

Sixth graders got to explore a little deeper about microorganisms in class this week. They created their own slides using gutter water, looked at insect wings and other specimens through a microscope, created and wrote about a germ, made flip books to simulate the movement of bacteria and diagrammed a microscope. The students really enjoyed the microscope centers. All this fun was just another day in sixth grade! Check out Facebook for more photos!

Last week our 1st graders enjoyed learning all about spelling the sound "ar" with the help of Pirate Mark, a treasure hunt for "ar" words, and using our best pirate voices! Aaaargh!!
