Ethics * Science * Technology * Engineering * Entrepreneurship * Math
Our scholars are hard at work!
In order to be true scholars, we will use the Depth and Complexity Icons to help us make stronger connections and to take our thinking to a higher level. We continue to use the RULES, DETAILS, PATTERNS, UNANSWERED QUESTIONS, TRENDS, ETHICS, MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES, BIG IDEA, CHANGE OVER TIME, LANGUAGE OF THE DISCIPLINE, and ACROSS DISCIPLINES icons.
Our Reader Response Journals will be coming home each Monday as part of the week's homework. One entry will be due on Friday.
STEMinars are every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon where the kids get a chance to learn more about science and engineering.
