Spanish 2 students just finished a food and restaurant unit and had the chance to try out their skills firsthand with a lunch date at Pacifico. They ordered their meals completely in Spanish and interacted with the waiter, who was thrilled to practice español with us! What a fun way to put language skills to use in real life outside the classroom!
5th grade practiced forming a hypothesis, testing it, and making observations with mold terrariums. These kinds of activities are important because they give students the opportunity to be engaged through hands-on experiences.

1. Physical science students calculated the density of the carbon dioxide gas given off during an experiment. They did this using measurements they made in the lab.
2. Biology students modeled the properties of a cell membrane.
3-4. Chemistry students have been doing many calculations using a unit called the mole (6.02 x 10^23.) It is a counting number used for very small things like atoms and molecules. We celebrated Mole Day (on 10/23) with element posters and food!
This week the fourth grade class is starting a research project. The students will be researching the life cycle of a living creature of their choice. They will then draw the life cycle and write a summary of its stages. This activity allows students a chance to practice finding online resources while also turning the relevant information into organized writing.
Rehearsing with the Screaming Eagles Marching Band at UWL for High School Band Day. Performance at the UWL Football game this afternoon!!!🎶🏈
The Geometry class is starting to learn about writing proofs. For an introduction to proofs, the class completed an activity using UNO cards to explain the steps to get from the starting card to the end card. The students had to figure out the correct pattern with the cards and then give a reason for each card change. This is a great introduction of proofs in a hands-on way for the students to develop the skills on providing reasons for each step they are taking. Each group of students were given a different set of cards and had to work together to find the pattern and give reasons.

The 6th and 7th graders often do a math warm up at the beginning of class. The warm up today was finding problems for a given solution. An answer was put up on the white board and students would write their own math problems on sticky notes. The sticky notes were then placed under the appropriate answer to the problem they created.
