Learning About Cells in 6th Grade Science! 🧫
Mrs. Selzler’s 6th grade science students have been busy learning all about cells!
While studying cell organelles, students created and presented models of plant and animal cells. They could choose how to showcase their learning by creating a 3D model, digital model, or poster.
Then they dived into cellular transport and recently got to see osmosis in action with an egg osmosis lab! 🥚🔬
We love seeing students get creative and hands-on with their learning! 👏

Fashion meets Spanish!
Students in Mrs. Stingley’s Spanish 2 classes recently put their language skills to work with a fun fashion project!
Students designed their own outfits and then presented them to the class, describing the different pieces of clothing in Spanish. After all the presentations were complete, classmates voted for their top three outfits!
What a fun and creative way to practice Spanish vocabulary while showing off a little personal style!

Hands-On Learning in Vocational Music! 🎺🥁
Mrs. Devereaux-Hanson’s new High School Vocational Music class has been learning all about the orchestra, its instruments, how they’re played, and the role they continue to have in music today!
Students recently took that learning beyond the classroom with some hands-on experiences. Band students brought in their own instruments to demonstrate how they work and even performed songs for the class. 🎷🎵
With some special help from our band teacher, Mr. Nick Verheyen, and student teacher Sophia Heran, students also had the chance to try playing brass instruments and explore a wide variety of percussion instruments.
What a fun way to experience music-making firsthand and learn more about the many instruments that come together to create music! 🎶👏

A huge thank you to Annie Baker, mom of 6th grade choir student Grace, for joining us last week to teach our students the pronunciation for our Vietnamese piece for the upcoming Winter Concert on December 7th!
Both of our 6th grade choir classes had the opportunity to work with Annie, and we are so grateful that she took the time to share her knowledge and help our students learn and appreciate the Vietnamese language and culture.
Mrs. Woletz is especially excited and honored to celebrate Vietnamese culture through music in our first concert of the year!
We hope you’ll join us on December 7th to hear our students share what they’ve been working so hard on. We can’t wait to see you there!
