7th Graders Surviving in the Sahara

The 7th graders are involved in a thematic unit of survival and journeys after reading the novel A LONG WALK TO WATER. Yesterday, I gave them a hypothetical scenario about traveling from place to place with their classmates because their teacher won a contest where the prize was traveling around the world. As they were flying over the Sahara, their plane developed engine trouble and had to make an emergency landing. The students were able to salvage 15 items from the plane and individually ranked them from most important to least important.

Today, they met in groups and discussed their reasoning for ranking the items the way they did, and then had to reach a group consensus. The following photos are of the students discussing:

Veteran's Assembly

 The Chadwick School had its Veteran's Day Assembly today with three 8th graders reading their winning essays: Ainsley Yingling, Anna Espitia, and Zach Paulson. The junior high choir sang and the high school band played. Both performances were well done! Below are a few photos of the morning's event.
