Students in Mrs. Kilchriste’s 9th Grade Lit. and Comp. classes have been hard at work writing their argumentative essays. Yesterday, they participated in a fun “Musical Chairs Peer Review” activity, where they rotated to review each other’s writing. During the activity, students shared positive feedback about one another’s essays while also giving helpful suggestions on areas like capitalization, word choice, punctuation, and overall clarity. It was an engaging way to strengthen their writing skills and learn from their peers!

Our 7th graders have been busy working on the scientific method during the first two weeks of school. One of our life science classes used an experiment to see how many drops of water could fit on a penny before spilling. Students had to observe the penny, create a hypothesis, and analyze their data.
