First graders in Mrs. Downey’s class performed word “surgery” to build contractions. All doctors took great care of their patients. We extracted extra letters and joined two words by “stitching” an apostrophe in the appropriate location. Each contraction surgeon was awarded a special certificate when all of our surgeries were completed successfully!
The middle school technology classes are bringing code to life! Students are using their math and programming skills to guide Finch Robots through custom paths — measuring distances, calculating angles, and writing precise code to make it happen.
The 6th grade class just read Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad. Now they are stepping up their essay-writing game by comparing it to a game of Capture the Flag! Just like protecting and capturing flags, your thesis (the main argument) is the flag, and every piece of evidence and reasoning is the strategy to defend or challenge it. What a creative way to learn the structure of a strong essay!
The students finished Homecoming week with School Spirit Day! They played the pie game and cheese ball toss. Mr. Millhouse challenged Jace to a hotdog eating contest, and won. Tonight the school spirit continues with the Homecoming Basketball Game at 6:00pm!
The students went all out yesterday for Throwback Thursday! The students channeled different decades and some even throwing it back to their younger selves! The students also got in the competitive spirit with the egg race and tug of war!
Yesterday was TV/Movie Day, and the students went all out with their amazing costumes! From classic characters to modern hits, it was a blast seeing so many creative looks! See if you can name all the TV shows and movies! Then the students played an epic game of dodgeball!
Today was Twin Tuesday, and our students went all out with their amazing matching costumes! It was so hard for the judges to choose the winning pairs – everyone looked fantastic! The fun continued with the balloon game and an exciting mattress race.
