Yesterday we kicked off our reading month with an amazing and engaging opportunity to learn about animals as we get set for a rainforest reading adventure! The sixth graders were excited to get up close and touch the animals as well as learn some new facts about each one.
Tomorrow is "Birds of a Feather Day;" which means wear colorful clothing as part of our rainforest reading adventure!
Today in 6th grade during our P2 activity the students learned about the "Love of Learning." Every student memorized an interesting fact and shared it with the rest of the class. Here are some interesting facts that we learned:
Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is different.
There are 293 ways to make change for a dollar.
In the course of an average lifetime, while sleeping you might eat around 70 assorted insects and 10 spiders, or more.
Reminder: Friday, March 3rd is a half day of school and students will be dismissed at 11:30 AM. This marks the end of the 2nd trimester. Enjoy the time off and see you back on Monday, March 6th.
Sixth graders inspired each other to revise and improve their vehicles during rubber band power races in STEAM.
Kids had a fun kickoff to reading month in the rainforest at a wildlife assembly.
