Week of February 25th




This week in Power Hour we worked on school work and also did a class Kahoot. Kahoot is a super fun online website that we have used since 4th grade. It is not only a way to learn, it is also competitive which makes it fun and helps you learn. The Kahoot we did in class was about connotation and denotation, this was also on our Reading Terms Quiz that we had in Language Arts.


In Language Arts we had a Reading Terms Quiz and our weekly Reading Log due. We also started a new book called "Freak the Mighty" by Rodman Philbrick.  This is personally one of my favorite books, it is about a very tall teenager named Max who is not is not very smart but very tall and  lives with his Grim and Gram. There is also another character named Kevin who has a disability with his legs and can't walk without leg braces and crutches. The story is about their adventures and the way another person can bring out the happiest and best out of you.



In Science this week we started working on Evolution. In these pictures we were working on different documents and web-quest about evolution. We did chapter three of evolution and our normal bell-work. We learned about Natural Selection this week and did a web-quest showing us how peppered moths are a big example of natural selection.  


This week our JV and Varsity dancers had their dance team banquet. In the picture above four of our students have received fun awards for being "Most Confident", "Best Facials", "Amazing Jumper", and "Best Smile" which were voted by their teammates. At the banquet they had a potluck, watched a slideshow, and received awards for their hard work during the season. 


These are our student of the month kids for February. Two of our seventh graders, Solveigh Goldsmith and Eliot Downes got the award from our teachers. This is an award that the teachers give out to two students in each grade every month.
