The 10th Grade Geometry class will choose topics such as Cubism, Tesselations, Mosaics and Optical Art to complete a research paper. They will type a one to two page bibliography of the artist they choose. They will also include the contributions made from the artist. Then they will construct a piece of art work in the form of their choice. Students will also need to prepare a powerpoint presentation to accompany their report and project.

We are continuing to read the Chronicle of Narnia books. Our 7th graders are now to the part in The Magician’s Nephew where Aslan is creating Narnia. C.S. Lewis does a great job in his writings to give the students a mental picture of what is happening.Mrs. Bienemann
We took a journey in reading lab, with a father and son, as they observed harp seals, as we read the story “Seal Journey”. The students learned that harp seals get their name because the markings on their backs look like a harp. They also learned that baby seals are called pups and their fur is yellow until the sun bleaches it white.
We just finished reading the story “Tumble Bumble” inReading Lab. The students practiced putting the animals in order of when they appeared in the story, this reinforces sequencing. They also acted out the stories with picture puppets. We had a lot of fun. Mrs. Bienemann

Forensics Classes are studying about the 2nd Amendment: The Right to Bear Arms. The students watched a video on the militia and its history. They wrote their views as Pros and Cons. We had a class discussion on the positive and negative aspects of gun control.

Our Cocoons have hatched!
1C worked so well together and had fun creating our caterpillars then putting them into their cocoons for safe keeping and unwrapping them to discover our BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES!

The eighth graders are finishing out the second quarter with a study of earthquakes. They have had quite the entertaining stories and questions about this topic to make time fly in the class. However, as much as our class passes us by quickly, the hard-working eighth graders make sure to keep up on their end of completing homework and studying for their quizzes/tests. I am proud of these accomplished students and look forward to the rest of the school year with them!

As January is wrapping up the second quarter the seventh grade scientists are ready to be finished with DNA! They have studied the basics, picked apart the fine detail and even modeled their own person after creating a profile of genes and traits for their made-up character. Yes, these seventh graders are quite the experts on DNA! Coming up is classification, a great hands-on topic to change the atmosphere in room 303.

The sixth grade scientists are now finishing their study of earthquakes. They have learned not just what causes earthquakes, and how to read the magnitude of earthquakes, but also how to stay safe in case they are ever in an earthquake. Good information to know, even though we are not quite in threat of an earthquake here in NYC!
