In ELA, students will be focused on their chosen Genius Time projects.

In science, we are welcoming local astronomer Alan Stahler into the classroom for some exciting astronomy discussion.  

In social studies, we will continue on with the Rennaissance, Age of Exploration and the Enlightenment.

Updates and Info
Students had some mind bending discussions regarding the size of the earth relative to the solar system. We learned about how silver from South America transformed the world's economy during the Rennaissance. Students have been  focused on Genius Time research. We had a productive conversation with Ghidotti counselors.

6th and 7th grade families, it is tradition for the younger students to bring a finger food for 8th grade graduation. Please indicate what type of food you will send with your student June 7th. It can be brought to the school or graduation at 6 pm. The dance will be held from 7-9pm. Thank you in advance for supporting graduation!
