Mrs. Linkous' 6th grade social studies competed in the "The Fast and Curious" this week with their new vocabulary words!

Even with some technical difficulties they all still grew SO much and helped each other learn along the way!
In Ms. Emerson's theater class the students were assigned to work together to fit as many people as they can on an island since the other islands have been taken over by lava!
