Rather than feeding the mass panic by being uninformed, please take the time to do a little research on your own concerning things you read on the internet.  Like it or not, we do live in the era of “fake news”, so get off social media and do some fact checking.  Here are some links to get you started so that you can have an honest and informed conversation with your children about the latest hoax.

Comments Off on 6th Grade Model Homes

The Sixth Grade has been learning about Architecture and Construction. They constructed model houses that are 1320 sq. ft and include two or three bedrooms (each with a closet), one or two bathrooms, and no frills. They started by creating a scale drawing on a sheet of graph paper. They added walls and a room to finish the house. The slideshow below includes the five models and their features. Take a look and then VOTE on the one you like best.

The fifth grade class is participating in the Trout in the Classroom (TIC) program. This is a hands-on educational program in which students:

  • raise trout from eggs to fry
  • monitor tank water quality
  • engage in stream habitat study
  • learn to appreciate water resources
  • begin to foster a conservation ethic
  • grow to understand ecosystems

We received our trout eggs on January 17th and have enjoyed watching them grow and change from eggs to alevin and to fry.
