Sixth-grade students recently put their knowledge to the test with a review game called “Gone Fishin’!” Students have been learning how historians study ancient cultures using the G.R.A.P.E.S. method:

🌎 G – Geography
🙏 R – Religion
🏛️ A – Achievements
⚖️ P – Politics
💰 E – Economy
👥 S – Social Structure

During the activity, students “went fishing” for different scenarios and terms related to ancient civilizations. They then determined which G.R.A.P.E.S. category each example belonged to and explained the reasoning behind their choice.

This engaging activity gave students an opportunity to apply their knowledge, explain their thinking, and build a strong foundation for their upcoming study of ancient cultures!

🍎 Last week was filled with apple-themed learning and fun! Our first graders read How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World, learned about the apple life cycle and Johnny Appleseed, and wrapped up the week with a special Johnny Appleseed celebration! Students dressed up, enjoyed apple cider, and made delicious Apple Pie in a Cup! It was a sweet way to combine learning, creativity, and fun! 🍎

Freshman English students put their problem-solving skills to the test with a REASON Decoder Challenge as we prepare to begin our final mythology selection, The Odyssey! Working with partners, students followed the REASON process to analyze clues, make connections, and crack the code. A little teamwork, persistence, and critical thinking helped get us ready for our journey with Odysseus.

Our art students recently took on a white charcoal project, drawing with white charcoal on black paper. This technique flips traditional drawing around—instead of adding shadows, students focused on adding highlights and light to create value, contrast, texture, and three-dimensional form. It was a fun challenge and a great way to think about light in a whole new way. They worked hard, and the finished pieces turned out amazing!

The Girls' Golfers of the LTC competed at Lake Bracken today for the Railsplitter Tournament. Junior Lauren Dana fired a 114 and finished in 17th Place overall for the Tournament!
