Hands-On Learning is always engaging!

By: Marie Goodwin 5tth-6th Grade Math and Science Teacher

Merry Christmas!

Mrs. Goodwin’s homeroom has been busy, busy, busy!

We hit the ground running after Thanksgiving break. The students are learning about energy, force, and motion in science class. They used their understanding of potential and kinetic energy to build a simple roller coaster. The students acted as engineers by planning, testing, and improving their designs as a team. They got very creative and had some fun while learning.

Recently, we had two students participate in a tennis tournament with Pleasant Grove. Go Spartans!

Students from our class were also in The Christmas Story play, which was presented at The Silver Moon Theatre. This weekend, one of our students is participating in the Nutcracker at the Perot Theatre.

We are so proud that our students are active in the community.

We are currently participating along with the rest of the middle school to sponsor a family for Christmas. The kids are also practicing their music for the candlelight service, while working to master the addition, subtraction, and multiplication of fractions.

It’s a great time to be a Spartan!
