Battle of the Books updates! These students have been working so hard and are doing awesome things! Keep it up

We are proud of our PACK leaders this week!  Congratulations and thank you for being amazing examples of being: Positive Accountable Courageous and Kind!

Please see the attached PDF for information about a free online seminar on helping students with disabilities provided by the Utah Parent Center and Heidi Whitaker.

We did Balloon Rockets to close up Newton’s 2nd Law and begin the 3rd. They altered force (how much they filled up the balloon) and mass (taping Pennies on it) to get their balloons to land on a certain mark. Then as we’ve been learning about equal and opposite reactions, we’ve been relating it back to that experiment.
 

7th grade science designed Mars Rovers using Newton’s 3rd Law of motion to lessen the force in the collision so the “astronaut” (ping pong ball) stayed inside!

Our meditation club held a medication drug circle. This has really helped out students be able to focus and they have enjoyed it.

My students practiced the concept of unit rate by calculating the price of individual items on sale to determine which of two local grocery stores is offering the best deal. 

These are some pictures of our battle of the books readers! way to go and keep up the good work going into 3rd term.
