I spy 🕵️ a butterfly. Our 8th graders applied their knowledge of adaptations to a fun I spy project today. They camouflaged their butterflies to adapt the classroom.🦋 Then our admin and teachers came in at the end of the day to find them! The students who's butterflies remained unfound won a prize.🎊 #sciencerocks
We love the smiles from these panthers as they enjoyed the GORGEOUS weather and sunshine today! ☀️

We have an amazing staff here at Beech. When students were struggling to understand a math concept, our math interventionist, Mrs. Kinard stepped in to teach it with fresh eyes and a hands on demonstration. We love the support our staff has for each other and how they have the same goals-our student's needs! 💜
"Our little bud." 🌹Students in 8th grade science partnered in pairs to create a little bud. They flipped their sticks to see which allele they'd pass on to their offspring and what genetic trait that would be. 🧬Then they took all the phenotypes and created their little bud. 🌸🌷
FLEX club Fridays took advantage of warm weather and hosted clubs outside today. Take a look at the fun below! ⬇️

Some students in sixth grade had an in-house field trip last week due to their field trip to roper mountain science center being canceled previously. Students learned about natural disasters, which is one of the sixth grade science standards. Students watched a video on extreme weather, played a gimkit, built bird houses to withstand storms, looked at area of geometric figures on weather maps, and created a volcano.
It's a 'Roundup!" Students in Mrs. Landon's classes reviewed vocabulary from their genetic unit by high fiving others to pair with a new allele. They then identified what their new genotype was. 🤠
Have your DNA and eat it too! 🧬Students in 8th grade have learned all about genetics and DNA. Today they created edible models to show which nitrogenous bases paired together. What a sweet lesson! 🍬

Check out these panthers amazing work! They created maps to demonstrate their knowledge of sectionalism in 8th grade history.
