6th grade had another amazing week downtown. Thanks to Mrs. Ochap and Mr. Jividen for arranging these opportunities for us! The WW2 ship provided a fascinating look into what it would have been like in the 1940s in the Navy. One look at the sleeping quarters and all agreed…it wasn’t the sailor’s life for us! We also loved our trip to the Waterfront Hall. We even got several compliments on how well-mannered the kids were. Then we stayed on for English class and enjoyed the beautiful day at the waterfront.

Science w/ Mrs. Farris –
- Upcoming Tests/Quizzes – We have our first “science survey.” This is a no pressure tool I use to see if students have gained an understanding of science terms before we move forward. They can review the new terms by using their science journals and there are digital flashcards in google classrooms.
- Each lab group presented their findings and identified their variables from last week’s mini-labs.
- Students began an independent germination experiment allowing each student to control their independent variables. (“I” change it!)
- We reviewed the scientific method and each made a hypothesis about their seed.
