Rhodes Middles School
Middle School Partners and Bridge to Promotion
It's not about how you start, it's about how you finish!
Here at Rhodes, our Partners program has got off to a slow start but we have finally found a rhythm and working towards all of our beginning partners to finishing their Health Credit. Our goal is to have everyone completed within the month.
Exploring the Witte Museum
RackSpace sponsored our trip the the Witte Museum. Our 6th grade bridge students were blown away by the size of the dinosaur fossils that the exhibit had. The students enjoyed the HEB Body Adventure exhibit that gives the students a health and wellness experience through fun physical activities. The students were working out and they didn't even know it.
Remember the Alamo
Our 8th grade partner students explored the grounds of the Alamo after we saw the feature film, "Alamo; The Price of Freedom." After the IMAX feature, Community in Schools treated our students to lunch at Chili's on the Riverwalk.
You Learn Something New Everyday
It turns out that one of our 8th graders is a chess champion. He placed 3rd place in a city wide tournament in 5th grade! He says that Chess has helped him relax more and focus in school.
Reactions in Action!
While at the Witte Museum we were invited to the program, "Reactions in Action." The students were shown live reactions to different chemicals in our everyday lives. They identified physical and chemical changes while observing demonstrations that explore some indicators of chemical change. Our students volunteered for different reactions and in the photo above they are about to demonstrate how molecules combine with different molecules to make a reaction.
