Exhibition Night 

6th grade proudly presented our ancient Egypt artifact exhibit "Ancient Egypt: Where History and Mystery Meet"

We had such a great turn out and the students did an outstanding job being docents! Check out some photos below…

Fundraising

6th grade is selling candy bars! 

To kick off a great year, we will be selling Hershey's candy bars to raise money for field work and graduation. 

Each child received a permission slip containing the necessary information about the fundraiser. If you would like your child to participate and sell a box, please return the slip with a REFUNDABLE 10$ deposit. 

Once either the money from the sold chocolate, or the unsold candy bars have been returned, the deposit will be returned to you. 

We hope you can participate! :) 

Experimenting!

In our investigation about the geography of ancient Egypt, we explored erosion and deposition just as it was seen on the ancient Nile River...

Design Principle of the Month!

What are the Design Principles? 

---> The design principles express the philosophy of education and core values of Expeditionary Learning.

 Design Principle #1: "The Primacy of Self Discovery"  Learning happens best with emotion, challenge and the requisite support. People discover their abilities, values, passions, and responsibilities in situations that offer adventure and the unexpected. In Expeditionary Learning schools, students undertake tasks that require perseverance, fitness, craftsmanship, imagination, self-discipline, and significant achievement. A teacher’s primary task is to help students overcome their fears and discover they can do more than they think they can.

I am proud to recognize Trenity Holmes as the student of the month. Congratulations Trenity, keep up the excellent work!
