6th graders in Mr. Walsh's science classes completed two modeling labs for their Weather Unit. They demonstrated how icebergs react to cool and warm ocean currents. The second lab demonstrated how freshwater and saltwater mix. These labs help the students better understand how ocean currents affect climate.

Today’s "Like a Champion" Call of the Day spotlights Dianna Haines! She is being recognized by Mr. Sleichter for her amazing act of kindness. Dianna paused her own work to assist fellow students with their IXL math lessons. Without being asked, she helped them grasp the concepts, and in the process, she also deepened her own understanding of the material. Mr. Sleichter believes that’s a true Win-Win situation! An interesting fact about Dianna is that she loves to draw! The image shared is her favorite piece of artwork. Great job, Dianna!!!

Today, we are thrilled to recognize Collin Nelson as our "Like a Champion" Call of the Day! During P.E., while the class was playing Jail Break, substitute teacher Margaret Bideau noticed that Collin was consistently offering positive and encouraging words to both his teammates and the students on the opposing team. He even helped someone up from the floor, and when two students began to question who was "out," he kindly suggested, "Let's just have fun!" Collin truly exemplifies great sportsmanship! His positive and friendly attitude promotes a win-win environment every day!

Mrs. Griffiths' 6th grade math classes were working on dividends and quotients today. Specifically, they were estimating answers before they put pen to paper to come up with the answers.

Today, our Bengal Spotlight is shining on the PAWS class taught by Ms. Mellies. Meet the Mellies Mafia: silent ball enthusiasts (with the occasional ‘not-so-silent’ moment), Just Dance stars who sing along like they’re at a concert, and champions of slow mornings. They love hanging out, playing games, and taking their time to get the day started—because who needs rush? With their unique mix of personalities, they make every day a little more interesting.

Last semester Mrs. Argo’s art students had the opportunity to participate in the Clay County Conservation District’s soil conservation poster contest.

Please consider coming to El Puerto's tonight for some chips, salsa, and dialogue!

Mr. Taylor's 6th grade social studies classes are in the middle of studying the Greek Dynasty, which ran from 1900-300 B.C. Today, they were writing an essay about similarities and differences between Athens and United States democracies. Then, based on that information, they had to say if they would be willing to live in ancient Athens or not.
