Students work as a team with an educator and engineer mentor to plan cities using SimCity software: research and write solutions to an engineering problem; build tabletop scale models with recycled materials; and present their ideas before judges.
The teams will meet on Tuesdays from 3:05 to 4:15 in the Science Lab with Mr. Daugherty.
Dates of the Meetings will be 3/1, 3/8, 3/15 & 3/22.

Literacy FOCUS of the Month
NEW! Fluency FOCUS (April)
https://www.tes.com/lessons/qfQ2-FjSU6sYIw/fluency-focus
Comprehension FOCUS (March)
https://www.tes.com/lessons/yrEkPfM4tMPD-w/comprehension-focus
Writing Connected to Texts FOCUS (February)
https://www.tes.com/lessons/Vefp7IKC5OqYhA/writing-connected-to-texts-focus
Vocabulary FOCUS (January)
https://www.tes.com/lessons/KLk5SE8LrtXG0g/vocabulary-focus
The purpose the Literacy Focus of the Month is to provide guidance to administrators and teachers for supporting a monthly, school wide instructional focus based on best practices and research-based strategies in literacy. This "user-friendly" support tool will assist districts and schools in the implementation of reading instruction in classrooms across multiple grade levels, as well as different subjects/content areas. The topics in this newsletter range from policies and procedures to the five essential components of reading as identified by the National Reading Panel. The material is devoted to strengthen administration and teacher content knowledge by focusing on one topic each month. Although the monthly focus will highlight and supplement a specific procedure or skill, it is impossible to teach the components in isolation; therefore, the Literacy FOCUS of the Month should serve to present a school-wide shared commitment to literacy.
