6th graders made their own volcanoes! They investigated how different amounts of gas in magma could change how the volcano model erupted. The noticed that less-gassy magma has a slower, smoother eruption where more-gassy magma was more explosive. The seventh and eighth graders have been presenting their radio broadcasts to their classmates the last couple of weeks. The groups presented their broadcasts chronologically starting with the 1930's and ended with the 2000's. It was a historical adventure listening to the music from those decades and explaining how moments in history were affected by it. All the groups presented engaging broadcasts complete with commercials from back in the day. In the spirit of Halloween, 6th graders had a pumpkin matching activity to practice our orders of operation skills. Each pumpkin was cut in half with a problem on top and students had to work together to find the matching bottom with the corresponding answer. Students worked in groups in order to complete the task and were able to help each other correct any mistakes their group mates made. 8th graders, in L&L, are close to finishing up Life of Pi, but while they’re still working on the novel, they participated in a very insightful three days of student-led Socratic Seminar discussions as well as a literary device scavenger hunt/display of the recently read chapters. Student Council sold apple cider on Friday morning! The whole school lined up to purchase a cup of hot or cold apple cider to start the day. Thanks to all who participated! Student Council will be back out there on Friday, November 9th selling apple cider for $1. See you there! On Thursday, 7th and 8th graders participated in our 2nd annual GoApe Field Trip. We spent the day encouraging each other, working together, persevering, taking risks, facing our fears and exploring with our classmates. Everyone was able to complete all 5 sites where we encountered zip lines, rope bridges, wood obstacles and the Tarzan Swing. It was a day filled with adventure and one that we all will not forget. Thank you to all the chaperones who braved this difficult course and took time out of their day to spend it with us. We are all so thankful. Check out some pictures below! Looking Ahead...
