Upcoming Field Trip and Launching the Challenge Project

The 8th Grade Academy will be visiting Amherst College for the day next Friday 12/8/17. This is an exciting day for every one and students will get to visit the Beneski Museum of Natural History, the Mead Art Museum, and view a presentation at the Bassett Planetarium. Flyers with more information are going home with students today.

Student also had an opportunity to brainstorm for their Challenge Projects using some amazing text resources in the library. With the help of our wonderful librarian, Ms. Pollock, we flooded the tables with a huge variety of books to explore. This was a much richer and more valuable way to get ideas and be exposed to different topics than just trying to get started with internet-based research.
