Student Spotlight
7th Grade Science
Students in our 7th Grade Science classrooms are learning about the parts of the plant cell. As part of this unit, students have the opportunity to choose how they demonstrate their learning- through building a physical model, writing a song, or creating a presentation. This is a great example of student agency, which we strive for every day here at Fred S. Engle MS.
