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
