Weekly Update

Science
This week we started our unit on Solutions and Solutions and did two very good labs about solvents and solutes. Students should have a good understanding of what a solution is and how basic filters work. We also had a guest speaker. Josh Knowlis, father of Luke ran an amazing simulation of an environmental debate that I think students learned a lot from. Being able to be not only scientists but thinking about other points of view in order to solve environmental problems will give students a great understanding about how the world works.

Social Studies for Mr. Hill
This week we looked at some of the things that led up the revolutionary war and in the next few weeks we will be covering the Boston Massacre and the war itself. I am excited to be running a simulation of the First Continental Congress and I think students will really get into their parts.

We also elected several positions this week using a caucus system. It was a very good learning moment and I think that every person, including me learned a great deal about politics and themselves.


Congratulations to
Paige for Winning Class President
Noah for Winning Class Secretary
Reed for Winning Ambassador
