Our 8th graders are currently reading Lord of the Flies in L&L. Here they are able to work collaboratively to analyzing each chapter of the classic novel. We are so grateful to work together safely in person, it really makes a big difference for our students! All of our JH students participated in an obstacle course made out of chalk this week in PE. This obstacle course consisted of fundamental gross and locomotor skills such as running, jumping, hopping, and skipping. Look at them in action! In music, the 7th and 8th graders are exploring and uncovering protest themes and researching the effect protest songs have had on history and culture. They have spent time listening to protest songs from the 60’s to present day and have been inspired to create their own protest songs. The students have expressed concern about our city and nation and have begun expressing their feelings and emotions, writing lyrics about such themes as racism and equal rights. All through the peaceful medium of music. They will then use the program “Music Maker Jam” to create the accompaniments to their songs. We cant wait to hear the finished products! This week marked the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month! In Spanish Class, our JH students researched famous actors, musicians, politicians, scientists, athletes and more who are of Hispanic decent. They compiled some important information about them like their nationality and their major contributions. Then they built a display in the stairwell for the 1st-5th graders to read and learn all about these important people. Check back for more posts as we continue to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month!
