Welcome to 6th Grade

1st PBL of the year for 8th Grade

The 8th grade are hard at work in their first PBL of the year - building a car using the principles of force and friction! During this lab, they traveled to different stations and investigated how different types of friction affect various activities.

CAMP CHRIS 2025

Another successful camp trip in the books! 6th grade recently spent two adventure-filled days at Camp Christopher, and we loved every minute of it. Team-building, problem-solving, mini-golf, camp legends around a “campfire”, zip-lining, hiking… we did it all!

The 7th graders finished up a long-awaited project!

6th grade - PBL on scientific experiments

6th grade is starting off strong with a PBL on scientific experiments. First up - figuring out the difference between a demonstration (where the end result is typically known), and an experiment (where variables are manipulated to learn their affect).

Periodic Table

7th grade kicked off the year learning about the periodic table (just ask them how cool Dmitri Mendeleev is!), and this week are diving into the properties and classification of the metal elements!

WELCOME BACK!!!!!!

I am so excited to welcome our upcoming 6th graders to the upper hall! It's bound to be a year full of growth and new experiences! Students can expect to take an active role in their own learning, with plenty of opportunities for investigation, inquiry, and reflection.

I can't wait to see everyone on Sunday's walkthrough, or bright and early Monday morning!
