Welcome to our newest Li'l General!
Fun with oobleck in Mrs. Campion's class!
These curious Chemistry Club students are using titration to analyze the pH of mystery solutions. Mrs. Hohenshilt loves seeing her 8th graders sharing their lab skills with her 6th and 7th grade club members.
We love strategy groups! They are a great way to help students become proficient readers.
