Regent Review
As we continue to review for the Regents, students had the opportunity to visit Philadelphia and see the sights! Instead of just reading about the Constitutional Convention, we were able to stand in Independence Hall and see the chair that George Washington sat in as he presided over the Convention! What a way to review!

The Greatest Generation
Students watched interviews with 80-year-old veterans from Easy Company, one of the most decorated companies during World War II. After hearing about their experiences, students journaled about why these men came to be known as the greatest generation. Many students wrote that we have much to learn from them today about bravery, sacrifice, camaraderie, and hard work.

What Is Forensic Science
The Forensic Students will be constructing mystery stories to solve. Their mystery stories must include at least 3 chapter topics studied throughout the year. They will work with a partner and will do class presentations. They will also construct posters describing what Forensic science is.

Fun Projects
Students will be constructing a variety of art projects for math. For the acuminating project, students will choose a personal favorite topic. They will construct a song, poem, or rap. The lyrics will be placed on small poster boards for display. They will also have an option to create a math game as an end of the year project.

College Prep
The Juniors are splitting their time between computer class and their junior seminar, which is preparing them for college. Since time is short and the Juniors are busy folks, we’ve assigned some independent work projects due on June 4. They have chosen all sorts of things to work on and are really enjoying the projects. Some are making videos, while others are dissecting computers. Many students are learning office software, and one group is making an online comic for which they are making their own website!

The Giver
We started reading The Giver by Lois Lowry. This was a challenging jump from a 5th grade to an 8th grade reading level and it has created a linguistically richer context for students to engage in conversations. The book portrays a future society controlled by many rules so we started talking about what an ideal life/community would look like. The students are struggling a bit with the level of vocabulary and the complexity of the text so for now, we are spending a lot of classroom time reading and marking the text together. Eventually I hope to incorporate more discussions and writing about what we read.

Chemical Reactions
Students have been studying chemical reactions this month. They are now able to predict the products of a reaction and to balance equations. In lab they were amazed to watch the reaction of gases with indicators. They enjoy it when they can see color changes, bubbles or precipitates form.

I want that slice
Students worked on trig this month and learned how to use the law of sines and cosines. They also learned how to find the area of a sector. This became extremely useful when they applied their new skills to determine the area of a slice of pizza and which slice was the best deal.

Drug Research
Students got in groups of seven to work on their drug research projects. As a group they were responsible for a two page research paper along with a bibliography and citations. Each group also did a presentation and a poster board showing the effects drugs has on people’s physical and mental abilities. Some of the groups did their presentation with a skit or a Rap.
