Before winter break, Mr. Garrett’s Advanced ELA class combined Minecraft and storytelling in a creative quest writing project. Each week, one student played while the class observed and took notes on the unfolding adventure. Students then turned those shared game experiences into their own quest stories, added characters, dialogue, conflict, symbolism, and theme.
It was exciting to see students collaborate, think critically, and use their imagination to transform gameplay into compelling, well-crafted stories.
Before break, students in Mrs. Bo’s ELA class got into the acting spirit by performing Reader’s Theater skits based on The Christmas Truce of 1914.
Ms. Dillingham's Geometry class had a great time making icosahedron stars last week! An icosahedron is a 3D geometric shape, a 20 sided polyhedron.

A few other fun activities for the 12 days of Christmas have included a water bar for the teachers and a scavenger hunt to find the elf hiding around the school! The elf sure does look like Mr. Harper. Maybe he is his long lost cousin?
