Sixth graders in Mrs. Vulgamott's Language Arts classes were able to analyze evidence to support their claim of who hates Christmas more; The Grinch or Ebeneezer Scrooge. Students read the two texts, and watched both movies to provide evidence. They then used their knowledge to have a debate with others in their classroom...and maybe Mrs. Kountz.
Sixth grade was striking it up today! Students have spent the last few classes working on their bowling skills. Thanks to Mrs. Duran for turning up the excitement with some cosmic blowing!

"Dragons, We Shrunk the 5th Graders!"
The 5th graders used virtual reality to shrink themselves so they could explore a backyard full of plants going through the process of photosynthesis. While exploring, they were able to gather evidence to explain what plants need for growth. Using energy from the sun, plants take in carbon dioxide and water to produce a sugar called glucose. The plants use this glucose to grow and produce food for animals and humans to eat. When they were finished exploring, the 5th graders had to use the evidence they collected to produce a written claim, evidence, and reasoning statement.
Students in Mrs. Anderson's Algebra II are simplifying expressions with complex numbers. #BeADragon
