Week of November 11, 2024
Thank you to Mr. Jackson, not only for your service, but also for spending some of your time with the 7 Voyagers Team. We loved hearing about Veterans Day history, and your experience in the military. Thank you to all who serve or have served our country.
In 8th grade History, students play the NewlyWed Notes game, summarizing the key points from their reading, and then earning points for “matches” with their partner! Such a fun way to engage students in learning!
Literary Suspense! Language Arts students work collaboratively to write a suspenseful short story, using elements of writing that create anticipation and tension for the reader. Later, students will share with their peers through a museum walk!
Natural selection at work, in 8th grade Science class! Using forks with different numbers of tines, to “eat” fruit loops, students track data over 10 “generations.”
Active learning! Eighth grade Social Studies classes simulating tax collection during the 1700s, post French and Indian War.
Ohio’s favorable weather allowed us to extend our invasion games unit outdoors, giving teams additional opportunities to develop strategies and refine tactical positioning. This resulted in an exceptional 6th grade soccer unit! Congrats to the top 4 teams across the entire grade!
French students create a collaborative slideshow, with photos and videos from their National French Week projects! From preparing food for their families (LOVED those photos!!), to creating art work, to designing posters for the school, our students connected with others while celebrating the French culture!
