It’s been a quiet week on campus without 5th and 6th grade, and now that they’re back, 7th and 8th grade are off on their adventures. School trips were always some of my favorite experiences growing up. I still remember my 8th grade trip to DC and a high school trip that felt a lot like Jekyll. I always came home knowing a few classmates a little better, carrying great memories, and feeling even more excited about school. Hearing 5th and 6th graders share stories from their trips over the past few days has been so fun, and I know they’ve made memories that will last a lifetime.

ELA: 6th grade was away exploring the natural world of Jekyll Island this week! They will continue their illuminated manuscript projects next week.
Science: 6th graders had a wonderful time at Jekyll Island! From shark dissections to marsh mud facials and dune building competitions, they learned and laughed their way through all the coastal ecosystems. Next week they will explore their nervous system and how it sends messages to the brain.
Social Studies:I hope 6th grade had the best time at Jekyll Island. Next week we will finish up our research papers – editing and working on creating a works cited page.
Math: It’s been so fun hearing all of the stories from the 6th graders of their wonderful trip – it sounds like they had a blast! Next week, we’ll work on some review projects – including finishing up our summer vacation budgeting project, and work on preparing for field day!
