📚✍️ The Final Chapter: From Writers to Readers! ❤️✨

To piggyback on our special book service project, 7th graders officially completed writing and illustrating their very own children's books and got to read them to our Pre-K Dragons! 📖 Seeing their hard work turn into real smiles and giggles was the absolute perfect reward for this project. ✨

Ms. Poole's 8th graders wrapped up their math year with the ultimate test of engineering: the Popsicle Stick Bridge Challenge! 📐🌉

They put their geometry, measurement, and structural skills to work, and the results were incredible. The record-breaker bridge held a mind-blowing 205 lbs before finally giving way! 💪😮

Our 7th-grade science students wrapped up the year by becoming world-class biologists! For their final project, students collaborated to invent a completely "newly discovered species" from scratch. 🦕✨

To bring their creatures to life, they had to weave every major topic they learned this year into the story of their organism's natural history. They got incredibly creative with their writing—formatting their research as interviews with scientists, field journals, or lab reports—and then constructed amazing 3D models and storybooks to showcase their discoveries! 🧪📚🎨
