Perú

Eighth graders finished reading the book, Los Baker van a Perú, which tells the story of a family who won a trip to Perú. Students embarked on the family's adventures through Perú visiting cities like Lima and Cuzco as well as Machu Picchu. Being that one of our eighth graders has family from Perú, DW was able to share some of his photos from his visit to Lima, Cuzco and Machu Picchu. DW shared some indigenous clothing with his classmates. Students were intrigued by the Inca ruins and the brightly colored indigenous clothing. Thanks DW for a wonderful presentation!

Our future scientists got to work with chemicals today to observe a chemical reaction firsthand. They got to see 2 of the 4 clues of a reaction... bubbles and temperature change.

Happy Pi Day!!!!

Students feasted on pi-themed treats, recited digits from memory, (Emma knew the most!), shared interesting pi facts and watched a movie called 'Brainman.' In the afternoon the MMY gathered to recite digits together and the 3 who knew more than 100(!) digits got to pie Justin!!
