(9/16): Our 6th grade science students got creative this week by turning cells into cities! To better understand cell organelles, students compared them to the parts of a city—like the nucleus as City Hall, the mitochondria as power plants, and even the cell membrane as the city limits! Their imaginative “Cell City” analogies made learning about the inner workings of cells fun and unforgettable. Who knew biology and city planning could go hand-in-hand?

(9/13): Mrs. Emison’s students played The UNFAIR Game to review for their Unit 2 test. Students answered review questions and then waited to see if their name was drawn to have a chance to answer. If they got it correct, they could write their name in the blank beside several random prizes. Or they could erase someone else’s name and replace it with theirs. The kids loved fighting over the random potato and other prizes!!!
