Additionally, four weekly subsequent plantings will allow for future harvests.

The students in Mrs. Lohr's Ecology Class were hands-on with evolution and adaptation on Tuesday, September 8! To practice the steps of the scientific method, students tested the power of one of our most important physical traits, opposable thumbs.
Round One.
Students completed a series of everyday tasks while using their hands normally.
✍️ writing their full names
👟 tying their shoes
📖 flipping to a specific page in a textbook
🚰 turning a water spigot on and off
Round Two
Thumbs down — literally! Students taped their thumbs to their palms to simulate life without them and ran through the exact same timed challenges.
After gathering their data, students traded in their stopwatches for rulers and pens to graph their results and write their final conclusions. Everyone developed a new appreciation for their thumbs! 👍✨

In Mrs. Parker’s recent lesson, students tackled a domain–range–intercepts card sort. They identified characteristics of parent functions using set notation and matched each graph to its domain, range, and intercepts—then engaged in structured mathematical discourse to defend their choices. This activity builds precision in language, strengthens conceptual understanding, and fosters collaborative reasoning—skills transferable beyond math classrooms.

Student-led inquiry in action: our recent hula-hoop lab had students designing and running experiments to learn experimental design and data analysis. They ran three conditions — Eyesight vs. Blindfolded, Both Legs vs. One Leg, and student-designed trials (e.g., jumping vs. standing, arms up vs. down, walking vs. standing). Each group identified independent, dependent, and control variables, developed hypotheses, calculated averages, graphed their results, and presented conclusions. The exercise reinforced scientific thinking, teamwork, and data communication—plus it was highly engaging for all skill levels.
🎉 Students in Mr. Barnard’s classes used their knowledge of expressions and substitution to design calendars and board games that make practicing Algebra hands-on and fun. From challenge squares to equation-based dates, these projects build skills and creativity.
