We have been learning about specialized plant structures by investigating the question: How is regrowth possible after a wildfire?
Students have been researching different types of plants that regrow after wildfires, plant reproduction, and seed dispersal. They will also be investigating animal behaviors in ecosystems susceptible to wildfires.
Beginning May 9th, students will start our cardboard regatta project. Please be on the lookout for a permission form for students to go to the Webster Aquatic Center for the regatta as well as permission to use a box cutter in class to cut cardboard

We've made significant progress in our Dystopian Unit. This week, we delved into Characters Changing across the various novels and explored the different motifs of the novels that lead to possible Themes. While we studied these topics earlier in the school year, we examined how they manifest differently within dystopian settings.
Looking ahead, our final Book Club Discussion is scheduled for next week. Members will engage with questions concerning character development and thematic elements in their chosen novels.
Additionally, we'll be conducting our summative assessment. As part of our exploration, we'll watch a dystopian movie, likely rated PG-13. I'm undecided on the movie choice, but rest assured, I'll provide an opt-out form for parents if you prefer your student not to participate in the viewing.
