Fifth grader Kiylee Liphart was the closest student in an attempt to predict Sunday's Bears vs. Rams game score. The final score was 20-17 Rams, and Kiylee predicted 23-13, just one point off from the final point total.
6th grade did an amazing job creating their "Biome in a Box". The students were able to pick a biome and use what they learned in class to recreate the biome into a shoebox.
During this week the 8th grade Art class are focusing on one-point perspective hallway drawings. They must use a ruler to get straight lines that all go to a single dot in the center of the paper.
Fifth graders putting their thinking to work! 📖✨
