Classroom Spotlight: Grade 7 Science Classes
The chicks have hatched in seventh grade science and Mrs. Benitez's classrooms!
Students have been anxiously awaiting the hatch as they have been learning about the embryonic development, reproduction and behavior of chickens. This is the fifth year of partnering with Project CHICK at historic Casey Farms in Rhode Island.
Reminder to Bring a Water Bottle!
As the weather is getting warmer, reminder for students to bring a water bottle to school. We have water refill stations throughout the building and students can easily refill their water bottle. If your student has lost their water bottle at school, encourage them to check the Lost and Found in the Cafetorium.
