Last Week at FCMS
6th Grade
Students in Mrs. Ariens’ 6th Reading classes partnered up to create vocabulary mini posters for their current reading selection. They added sentences, illustrations, definitions, and also applied their understanding of a rubric to complete this activity. Superb work, students!
Mr. Dorrel's 6th grade gym class built mini golf courses! Staff had a lot of fun trying out the different courses.
7th Grade
How are web pages developed? Students in Mrs. Graf's computer science class are learning how to design and create webpages to meet user needs. They're learning critical thinking about online information, content consumption, and programming problem-solving (debugging, resource use, teamwork). By the end of the unit, students will create their own webpages about themselves using their new design skills!
Megaband
On Friday, 7th and 8th grade band members joined the high school's marching band during the football game, creating the legendary MEGABAND.
8th Grade
Students are learning about communication in Mrs. Rauch's Health class. They completed a back-to-back drawing exercise (drawers couldn't talk). Students learned communication is as much about being a good listener as being a good speaker.
In Mrs. Graf's Computing Foundations class students worked with AI to develop a future prediction and create a presentation that explains their process. They collaborated with AI to generate and refine ideas, evaluate outputs for accuracy and bias, and reflect on how they shaped the final prediction. The project centered on ethical reasoning, student voice, and thoughtful use of multimodal inputs to support transparency and agency in AI collaboration.
Mrs. Brown's 8th science classes are beginning to study chemistry. We will be exploring the elements, compounds, and mixtures. A big emphasis will be learning how to read and use the periodic table.
Mr. Baldwin's Intro to Construction students worked on pouring a concrete footer pad.
