Our fifth grade social studies classes are wrapping up their economics unit with a hands-on buying and selling simulation! Students explored the roles of producers and consumers by creating their own pencil businesses. Each student designed a poster to advertise their product, and the creators of the top four posters became the sellers. Everyone else took on the role of consumers, making smart choices as they “shopped” during the simulation.

Before Christmas, Mr. Bloemer's 8th grade science students used the game Mouse Trap to investigate several principles of physical science. Students were required to write a paper identifying 21 principles studied in class and provide examples of where each principle appeared in the game. These principles included Newton’s Laws of Motion, types of friction, forces, and energy transfers and transformations.

After completing the assignment, the class held an 8th grade Mouse Trap tournament, and Drake Geuin was the winner!

Middle school students enjoyed their dodgeball tournament incentive today! Student teams battled it out until one champion team was left. Then, it was time to take on the teachers. While the teachers took the win, students had a blast cheering on the games, hanging out with friends, visiting the concession stand, and rooting against the teachers! It was a great day of fun!

Mr. Walk's 8th grade science students have been exploring acids, bases, and the pH scale. Today, they predicted whether ten different liquids would be acidic or basic and estimated their pH levels. Then they tested each liquid to find the real values, and a few of the results took them by surprise!

When Mrs. Kingery’s class reads Junior Scholastic, one of their favorite sections is the debate page. Students explore each point of view and engage in thoughtful discussion. In the online edition, they’re even able to submit their own ideas for future debate topics.

Lila Light has submitted several ideas, and one of her responses was recently featured in the December/January issue! The debate question was, “Should you have an assigned seat at lunch?” Lila agreed with assigned seating and was quoted, “It can help you get more friends, and think in different ways.”

Congratulations to Lila for taking a chance and making her voice heard!
