Our 8th grade Science teachers have been going above and beyond to help students prepare for their state assessment on May 19th ๐ฌ๐
Mrs. Crossan and Mrs. Skerven collaborated to create engaging station review activities designed to reinforce key science concepts in an interactive way. Students rotated through multiple stations in both classroomsโand even extended their learning into the connecting science lab ๐งช๐ซ
These stations gave students the opportunity to review content, collaborate with peers, and strengthen their understanding through hands-on learning and active engagement ๐ก๐ค
We are proud of the intentional planning and teamwork our teachers are putting in to support student success! ๐
