Eagle Academy Weekly Update
Week of January 24, 2021
Wo-ah We’re Halfway There...
…And it feels like we’re living on a prayer! Literally It’s true; the school year is half over as of today. Did it go by quickly for you? Someone I asked recently said that the weeks go by quickly, but the days go by slowly. All in all, we are getting used to this most crazy year.
Teachers have honed their online skills, most students are showing up and working from home and our building is open for hybrid students. We continue to emphasize and practice good health measures. Masks, social distancing and increased handwashing are still part of our daily routine here at Eagle.
The halfway point is a good time to take stock of our own situation. Students reflecting on their school work & attendance may find that they need to step it up a bit. If you'd like to get in touch with teachers check out the contact information at the bottom of this newsletter.
Getting back to normal is still a ways off, but we’ll make it. I swear.
Woah, we're half way there
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Woah, livin' on a prayer

Student Achievement
Mitosis and Meiosis
On Mr. Langhurst's class this week the students modeled the stages of Mitosis and Meiosis using Oreos and sprinkles. The Oreos represent the dividing cells themselves where as the sprinkles represent the duplicated chromosomes/ sister chromatids moving into the newly formed daughter cells.
Pictured above is Adante Simkins working on his Oreo. Of course, the students ate the project once they were finished!

Anthony Cardani is Mr. Langhurst's pick for science student of the week, for showing up to class everyday and completing his assignments
