Boats come in all sizes, shapes and colors! 6th graders in Mr. McDevitt's classes have been learning about Early European Exploration. This week, students worked with partners to design and engineer cardboard boats. Today, they tested their buoyancy. Will it float???







7th graders dissected frogs in Mrs. Barton's room today! Students worked together to learn about the systems of the body with guidance from Mrs. Barton and Mrs. Gensler. Students also had the option to participate in dissection virtually.
