Snapshots and Happenings
Current and upcoming art projects with Ms. Buss.
Debra Lee, who teaches Bible, Multicontent Tutoring, and Student Support, leads a professional development training session on using thinking maps in all content areas. Thinking maps help students to create concrete images of abstract thoughts and to give processes by which to extend their thinking creatively and critically.
How fast and how far? 8th grade students in Ms. Gill’s Physical Science class begin their study of physics. Students record time and distance data and calculate speed as part of a physics lab day.
