Great new textbooks to start the year!!

I can't tell you how pleased I am that school district 2 has acquired new Glencoe textbooks for 8th grade physical science! I am spending time in August reading through the new materials so I can start the new school year in a great, exciting manner.

Foam Board installed by students!

Thanks to the Alma Mae and Harry Wardell Classroom Grant Awards, students from all class periods were able to put closed cell polystyrene foamboard in the large single pane windows in room 124. The grant also provided new energy kits from the NEED curriculum, available online at www.NEED.org. Thanks to all the learners and community members who help make science classes more interesting.
