Classroom Happenings...

Thanks to the snow and a polar vortex, it has been a bit of a challenge to get back in the swing of things since we returned from vacation!  Although it was snowy and cold outside, things were heating up in the classrooms...

Students in Mrs. Park's English classes participated in book chats.  Students really enjoyed the opportunity to 'dig deeper' into their book with the help of their group.

Students in Ms. Heishman and Ms. Behonek's 8th grade social studies classes were using the "Ben's Guide to US Government" website to further their understanding of the different roles of our branches of government.

To test their understanding of the 3 branches of government, Ms. Q's students were sorting facts about each branch into the correct category!

Mr. Conover's math class had to solve math problems correctly in order to solve a puzzle--as if puzzles weren't hard enough on their own :)

Mr. Strayer's classes were preparing for an upcoming test.  Students were working hard completing their study guides because those students who completed the study guides got to use them on the test!

Mr. Conrad's students were giving him a break by teaching the class!  Each group got to present information that they learned about an explorer as the other students took notes to learn more about the explorer.

 Mr. Gordon introduced his classes to the sport of Tchoukball.  Never heard of it?  Check out www.tchoukball.net to learn more.
