Pyramids and Plant Life Cycle Drawings

The last couple weeks have flown by!  We have had lots of different things going on here at MLGS.  Here is the rundown on a few of those things:

Mrs. Hanna's Sixth Grade classes have been studying ancient Egypt in class.  As a project, they created pyramids out of sugar cubes.  For extra credit, some of the students also created pyramids with legos, with buildwithchrome, a lego building app on the chrome browser, or in a computer game called minecraft.  The students really got into this and were very creative with the projects.











Our Fourth Grade students have been working on a plant life cycle project in Science.  Like most schools, we are trying to conserve paper as much as possible, so Mrs. Rutan and Mrs. Wiley decided to have the kids put together a diagram of the process in computer class using Google Drawing.  Mrs. Schield did an excellent job teaching the student to do this, and they picked up on it quickly.   They were surprised at how quickly the students picked up on it.  I am including a student example.



Finally, the Stuco purchased new welcome rugs for the school.  The rugs came in last week and they look great!  Thanks to Mrs. Buck and the Stuco kids this year!





This week is Fire Safety week, we have activities planned this week to help the kids learn about fire and how to stay safe.

Have a great week!
