End of the Year Projects

Now that testing is over with and class finals are complete, we can start some really fun, intense learning with our grade level cross-curricular projects. Each grade has a task and a group.  Each grade level will present their findings and we'd love to have parents attend!  Ninth grade will be Monday, May 16 from 9:30 - 11:00 in the Hangout room.  Tenth grade will be Tuesday, May 17, from 9:30 - 11:00 in the Hangout room.  The ninth graders are doing a presidential project, evaluating modern presidents and looking at different policy decisions and how that impacted our country.  Tenth graders are using their reasoning skills, historical research, and forensic knowledge to evaluate a cold case, looking for leads as to where solving the case went wrong.  These projects are allowing our students to build on concepts they have learned this year and to collaborate with different students.  They have a tight timeline to complete the task, but this is all they are doing in their core classes each day, and they have a team working together.  They will need to stay on task, and ninth graders need some supplies like glue sticks, sharpie markers, and colored pencils to make their display board look really good.  Thank you for your support, we hope to see you at our presentations next week!
