First grade students have been studying Light and Sound! Along with making lava lamps, they have also made model eyeballs with filters to observe how we see in the dark. This week, they examined glow sticks to determine what reaction will make a glow stick glow brighter, and how phosphors radiate energy as light. What "bright", young students we have!
Mr. Pfeil's history classes had the opportunity to virtually attend some educational conferences! The 8th graders attended Educating for Active Citizenship in Divisive Times and 11th grade sat in on the plenary session for Designing Justice: Innovation and Collaboration for Social Change.
Mrs. Gilmore's Physics I class had a "sweet" lab today! The students used Skittles to simulate carbon-14 dating, or half-life in nuclear physics. Chalk markers were used on the lab stations to create tables and graphs while reducing paper use. Great job scientists!
Congratulations to Mollie Scher, Gabriel Parada, and Will Chenevert who were selected for the South Central All District Honor Choir!

They will perform in the All District Choir concert on Saturday, November 5th at 4 PM at Evangel University Chapel. Will Chenevert ranked in the top 25 of auditionees and now has qualified to audition for the Missouri All State Choir! Great job students!
Fifth graders began an opinion writing unit using the OREO method (Opinions, Reasons, Examples, and restate Opinions). Their official opinion is that Mint Oreos are the best, second place was Lemon Oreos, and a three way tie for third: Neapolitan, Pumpkin Spice and Toffee! Who knew opinion writing could be so much fun!
Mrs. Flanders' 2nd grade was a little "corny" as they had a “sweet” review for their first math test!
