TEA's Statement Regarding Online Testing Issues

Ms. Harris's Third Grade students have become experts on natural disasters. After watching a National Geographic clip on each natural disaster and taking notes, each student selected the natural disaster they would like to learn more about. Using books and online resources, they researched causes, effects, and safety precautions for their chosen subject and created a poster detailing their findings. If you have a question about tornados, tsunamis, or volcanoes, just ask a Third Grader!

The Seventh Grade students in Mrs. Shugart's Science class are learning about Reproduction and Heredity. This unit has consisted of two projects - a presentation of the cell cycle focusing on mitosis, and predicting the outcome of a flower after receiving the genetic makeup of the two parent plants.
