Mrs. Ham’s 4th grade science class has been working hard learning about different energy types and how energy can be transferred or transformed. They were able to use what they learned and create their own circuit to light a bulb.
Mrs. Ham’s 5th grade science has really been enjoying their first chapters in science. They have been learning all about properties and testing them out. After testing properties and learning about the different types of matter, they made oobleck (or should I say giant mess) and observed its properties.
In Mrs. Ham’s 6th grade science, we have been studying living organisms and how they are classified. They have really enjoyed getting to use the microscopes. This past week, the 6th graders chose different surfaces to swab and observe what bacteria grew from their locations. They were pretty grossed out and intrigued at the same time.
Mrs. Burcham's 7th & 8th grade reading classes are reading the novel The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. In this book, a young boy from Germany meets another boy his own age from Poland. The boys form an unexpected friendship as they are on separate sides of the fence surrounding the concentration camp at Auschwitz. The reading classes went to the baseball field and sat on opposite sides of the fence themselves as they read a very pivotal chapter in the novel.
