Dr. Seuss week was fun in third grade!
Bryan and Anna Wren had a calf freeze last week and they brought it into 7th grade science to dissect. Anna, with the help of her sons Lucas and Garret, successfully opened up the calf and extracted the heart, lungs, and liver for students to observe and examine. The students had recently studied the organ systems, so this was a wonderful opportunity to see real life application of science lessons they have learned. Thanks to the Wrens for helping us learn about calves and their organs. Mr. Johnson science.

Thursday the Middle School band brought their color pencils to band class and analyzed their music to color all the same parts the same color. It created a rainbow on their music, and helped them identify patterns in their music that will help them as they learn and play the music. This song, "The Banana Boat Song" will be preformed at the next concert on March 15th at 6:30 in the MPR.
No school for students Friday and Monday the 18th and the 21st. Enjoy the long weekend!
Here's a great example of cross-curricular learning! What a cool project! Our 4th and 5th grade teachers used PTO wish list money to purchase a classroom set of Makey Makeys. In social studies, Mrs. Bearden's class learned how to use them to design interactive posters for Black History Month. Before the students could construct their posters, they had to research and write a nonfiction narrative. During science, they learned about electricity and how circuits worked. Once they understood circuits, the class learned how to use the Makey Makeys to construct open and closed circuits. For computer science, they learned how to code in Scratch and record their voices reading their narratives. Finally, they were able to use their knowledge to construct their posters and present them to Mrs. VanGunten's class.
