Happy Spring Break!


Enjoy a whole week of READING!

Rap Battles!

This afternoon in English Language Arts, students participated in Rap Battles!
A few match-ups were: Cats vs Dogs and Velociraptors vs Triceratops.





From the Science Department...


  • This afternoon we had a presentation by WISE (Women in Science and Engineering) about electricity. 
  • Students had the chance to build several different circuits!
  •  It was electrifying!











From the Math Department...


In Math, students had the chance to solve skyscraper puzzle problems. Here's how it works: they receive a grid of squares, all of which contain a skyscraper of various heights. Around the grid are clues telling how many skyscrapers can seen from each perspective. 
What fun working together to solve the puzzles!

CFOO

In Français, it's time for another CFOO (Le Club Fabuleux des Orateurs et Oratrices)! 
This is a public speaking "club" that will help students improve their oral French skills through short speeches.
This time around, students can choose any one of the presentation options that they have not already presented. They will prepare their short oral presentation, fulfilling all of the criteria (listed on the page they have in their binder).
Students should also keep in mind eye contact, volume and expression during their presentation.
