STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Ms. Hinlicky and Ms. Little's Science Classes
Ms. Lehrer's English Classes
Ms. Lehrer’s class presented formal debates based on research for current topics, ranging from education to politics. Each team presented either research supporting the affirmative or negative side of the argument and presented counter arguments to oppose claims. Some students even opted to wear ties! All in all, convincing arguments were presented and participants were able to witness the power of speech firsthand.
7th Grade Science Classes
7th Grade Advanced Science Classes have been learning for the past weeks Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI). Students assignments entailed Predator/Prey Relationships; sizes of a Predator Population related to the size of a Prey Population.
Data was collected with simulations; as well as Argumentation Sessions with Presenters & Reviewers observing charts, graphs, evidence, & justification requiring note taking.
8th Grade Social Studies Classes
Ms. Fairchild's Financial Literacy Classes
This week, students from the Green Team had a two-day workshop on the integration of technology with a focus on personal financial literacy with Ms. Fairchild. Earlier in the year, students learned about balancing personal accounts and the differences between debit and credit cards.
Today, students were able to play an "Interactive" called Cat Insanity from the Next Generation Personal Finance (NGPF). The game was a fun and engaging way to show how not all debt is equal. Compound Interest Rates can multiply quickly and become challenging to pay back.
