Endeavoro Science: Students presented on Ms. Thomas’ class. Students explained their sheep brain
dissection, which they collected donations from families in order to complete the
project. Summer Lalley went through a prezi about different activities they have
completed in science. Jawsome work was explained- only the best work gets put on the
board. Dendrite activities were explained and an example was shown by Madison
Lairson. The brain models were explained by Sydney Hickman and Nayati Patel
explained what each area is responsible for. Ben Schindler showed science reading
classification keys. Leah Charron, Grace Schwarberg, and Diana Alvardo-Iniguez
dissected a sheep brain and discussed the different parts. Students shared that they
donated the money to fund the dissection. They shared that is was the BEST learning
experience. They Jacob Marion, Bryce Justin, Owen Smith, Ethan Norsworthy explained
dominant and recessive traits. Genetics with a Smile is out in the hallway and students
explained why they looked the way they do. Katherine Windburn, Hunter McClanahan,
and Morgan Jones talked about a lab called Critter Creations- talking about traits for
their bugs including DNA sequences. Students shared that Projects will be displayed at
Exhibition Night on Thursday.
o Ms. Ratcliff talked about Math and thanked SBDM for helping with PD funds, which
enabled her to attend a Math PD through UK, which has been instrumental for her
classroom. Ms. Ratcliff focuses on meaningful ways to review with kids. This involves
taking the learning targets and students ranking themselves as experts or learners. Ms.
Ratcliff talked about her Reading/Writing connections class, which she utilizes Compass
Learning. This program tailors to individual needs, which helps meet the particular skill
deficits or strength.
o Mr. McQueary discussed NHD, which is when students get to choose a topic under a
nationally chosen theme. Students create projects to present to judges. Last year a
couple of students qualified for state. Earlier in the year, students created a manor with
castles. Students were originally assigned to draw the project, but were offered bonus
to students who wanted to create using something other than paper/pencil.
o Mrs. Schneider’s Language Arts Class: Grace Schwarberg, Kaitlyn Calhoun, and Diana
Alvardo-Iniguez, shared their Personal Narratives and “The Window Project”.
