From the Middle: Week of October 9

Modules in the Middle School:

Our 7th and 8th grade students are introduced to several STEM careers through our modules program.  Students learn how to solve different tasks that they may have to do in the future.  Some tasks include cooking, home repair, bridges and forces, and DNA.  Here are few twitter posts from Ms. Shipp.

Spotlight of the Week- Ms. Adam:

Ms. Adam is the 5-8 band instructor.  She encourages students to try different instruments and have a love of music.  Her band lessons are much different than traditional band lessons.  Students use a program called Smart Music where they play music in front of a computer that records the notes and rhythms they play.  Each student is assigned a challenging lesson that helps them grow in a differentiated manner.   Ms. Adam encourages students to challenge themselves by promoting a Karate Belt Program where students are able to advance when they complete so many activities.  Students are then recognized for their hard work at concerts.
