Mrs. Hursh’s 9th grade students brought learning to life as they explored Ancient Egypt through engaging, hands on presentations. Using a giant map of Africa, students taught their audience by identifying key locations, sharing important facts, explaining why those locations mattered, and connecting their topics to Ancient Egypt’s success and belief systems. Each group was evaluated by a guest judging panel made up of Mr. Hursh, Mr. Feely, and Mrs. Krause. First, second, and third place groups were recognized for their outstanding work with a Tut Treasure Treat and a certificate.

☀️ First Grade Fun: Learning About Shadows! ☀️
Today our first graders became little scientists as they learned all about shadows!They talked about how shadows are made when something blocks the light and how they can change depending on where the sun is in the sky.
After the lesson, they went outside to trace their own shadows! The students loved watching their shadows move and change shape as they stood, jumped, and posed. It was such a fun, hands-on way to explore science and get some fresh air too!
Learning is always more exciting when students can see it, touch it, and experience it firsthand 🌞👣
