Today, as Ms. Gray's seventh grade science class learns about hereditary and non-hereditary traits , they take to the halls to interview teachers about their binary traits (only two possible variations for each). Want to know more about this assignment? You might soon. These seventh grade students need to collect data on 15-20 people. After collecting data students will look for patterns and do some calculations. We can't wait see what they discover.

The Parthenon is regarded as an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece, Athenian democracy and Western civilization, and one of the world's greatest cultural monuments.The majestic structure is known for its dignified white marble columns and perfect sense of proportion that held an enormous stone roof. The sixth graders worked to create a paper structure modeled after the Greek Parthenon. Students used a piece of paper and an arm’s length of tape to create their structure. Students were challenged to use their materials to build a structure that held 10 books at least four inches off the floor.

Here is a peek at how the 8 Osprey students are wrapping up their unit on the 1930s. Students chose one of four options to demonstrate their understanding of the decade: Choice 1: Create your own 1930s Comic Strip! Choice 2: Write your own 1930s movie script! Choice 3: Design a Great Depression “one pager” on a historical figure from the time period (FDR, Eleanor Roosevelt, John Steinbeck, etc.) Choice 4: Make a 1930s annotated timeline.

Each week Mrs. Lawson and Ms. Gilpatrick run an optional Social Studies class on Wednesday mornings at 8:30. For the past few weeks, more than 40 students have been using a digital pictionary-like game to test their mythology knowledge.

Mrs. Lawson and Ms. Gilpatrick act as game show hosts as they tell stories and give additional clues about these mythical beings. Fun is had by all.
