Is it Alive?

 Many thanks to Brandan for the creative and informative bulletin board he constructed in Mr. Cornali's classroom.  Spartan science students now have a great reference when determining whether an object is living or non-living.

Stop by 304 to see Brandan's finished product!

Attention Algebra Connections Students

Science Guest Expert

The Spartan team would like to thank former Spartan, Jared, for taking time out of his busy high school schedule to talk with the current Spartans about the whitetail deer.  Jared is a member of the Wildlife Leadership Academy.   He shared many interesting hands-on materials and provided a wealth of knowledge on the life cycle, behavior, and genetics of Pennsylvania's state mammal.

Language Arts Update

Spartans have been reading nonfiction articles in class.  We are concluding "Spartan Shark Week" and will be reading some nonfiction articles about the Black Death.

We are also starting a new class novel, Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie.  We will be reading the novel over the next month.

In December, we will prepare for the holidays by reading a drama, an adaptation of Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol.
