Classes

We have been busy with projects both repeat and new! One new project is in Mrs. Caruso's Science 7 classes. Throughout the year, they will research endangered species and connect them to what they are learning in class. This quarter, they began their project in our Gale Middle School database in the Power Library. They found encyclopedia articles about their chosen animal, which they cited in NoodleTools before taking notes. This project will build throughout the year, culminating in a display of their knowledge in the spring.
