Students in Jennifer Olsen’s eighth-grade math class got creative last week while learning to graph linear equations. Students worked together to graph lines and design pumpkins, combining math skills with a festive twist. The activity encouraged teamwork and hands-on learning, and was a fun way for students to practice important math concepts.

Students in Rosa Sanchez’s class have been focusing on their personal narratives over the past several weeks. Last week, students were in the publishing stage of their writing process. They each had to type their final narratives in Google Docs, which allowed them to refine their work and share their stories digitally.  Photo: Students in Rosa Sanchez’s class typing their final narratives in Google Docs.

Students in Victoria Potter’s class learned all about Veterans' Day. They watched videos, made crowns, read books, and made thank-you cards to put out for the veterans' breakfast. Students also learned about the military branch and American symbols. They read a story specifically about the American flag, what it stands for, as well as how to treat it with respect. Students ended the week by listening to the National Anthem and saying the Pledge of Allegiance.
