As our winter break fast approaches, the Challenge students are finishing up their projects. Museums will be presented on Tuesday or Thursday, depending on the class schedule. The elementary students will also be reading their stories. Parents are invited to come. You should have received a note from your child. I also hope to video the presentations.
The 6th grade students are working from a book called "The Honest Truth about Lies" where we look at illusions vs perceptions. This is getting them ready for the unit on debates. The 7th graders are finishing up a unit on Norse Mythology. The projects have been very interesting. 8th graders are working from a book "Thinking Like a Genius." They will be studying Columbus, Copernicus, Shakespeare and others.
Vanderbilt's Summer Academy has started sending out their catalogs. Check out pty.vanderbilt.edu for more information.
