High School Social Studies: This year, our high schoolers are learning American History from 1865-Present. We start our history journey with the Reconstruction Period after the American Civil War. Our students are learning how Reconstruction helped African Americans navigate a new life of freedom and how this period of time ultimately culminated in the disastrous period of Segregation in the South. 

 

Middle School Social Studies: This year, our middle schoolers are learning American History from the early colonial period of the 1600's to the American Civil War (1861-1865). Our students are discovering why Europeans were exploring the Western Seas, what they found, and how/why thousands of Europeans would choose to leave their homelands for the promises of the New World.

In the first quarter, we will explore novels in verse to prepare students for our first novel, Long Way Down.

In room 203 we have been hard at work learning classroom rules and procedures.  In math, students are working on their instructional level on a variety of tasks. Groups are comparing numbers and working with fractions.  In reading, students are in our science of reading approved curriculum Reading Mastery groups.  We work on phonemic awareness, fluency, and comprehension.  Our year is starting off strong and we are going to have a great time together as a class! ​

Hello! In Quarter 1 of the 2026-2027 school year, we are focusing on building routines, learning classroom rules, and expectations! In math, we will be covering real world addition and subtraction using manipulatives such as counting blocks, money, and counting bears. In science, we are jumping into forces in motion. We are excited to get hands on with lots of fun mini experiments. In social studies we are covering the Declaration of Independence and then moving onto the Bill of Rights.

The students have done well with jumping right into our vocational class, with folding towels and clothing and wiping surfaces being our skills of the month!

PE Classes

This semester in PE, we will be working on learning the basic fundamentals of fitness (stretching, playing games with friends, what is exercising). We will be learning how to stretch our bodies so we are more flexible (yoga). We will understand why we stretch and do the small things in taking care of our bodies. Students will understand and become better at  “spatial awareness” which is understanding their bodies in space/areas along with their position to others. Games like “tag” and “rock, paper, scissors” will help the students better understand “spatial awareness”

​​

Health:

This semester in Health, we will be talking about “what is health?” and what it means to be “healthy.” We will also be discussing the topic of “Social Media” and how it affects health in many different ways. Understanding the pros and cons to Social Media. This is a huge part of their lives now and it is something the students need to understand how to use it better but also what to watch out for and how we can manage our usage of it.
