Welcome back after the long weekend. It was great to field all of the parents of adolescent students for their Student-Led Conferences. Everything went great, and we appreciate everyone’s commitment to making this educational journey as successful as possible.
Back in the swing of things, the students are hard at work. Having finished studying A Raisin In The Sun, by Lorraine Hansberry, the students have chosen books to read for their Independent Novel Study. This gives them the opportunity to choose the literature that they engage with and analyze.
In History, we are studying the U.S. policies of the 1830s and 1840s that led to the Indian Removal Act, the Trail of Tears, border issues with England (Canada), and the problems involved in admitting new states to the union.
In Science, we are moving from Electromagnetic Force to studying Gravity and Kinetic Energy in greater detail. The students will enjoy an upcoming project where they protect a “bean brain” with a helmet they design.
