We had a small crew of 8th graders come to our first lunch today! It was great to catch up with them! It's hard to believe they are in their last year of middle school! We got the chance to catch up, then they played board games! I'm looking forward to seeing them next week!

Students in Mr. Brown's Civics class were able to participate in an activity called a TABA. We discussed order versus chaos and how in most cases, you can't have one without the other. We also talked about how our government can produce order from chaos and vice versa. Students came up with some amazing examples, and were able to think deeply about order and chaos.
Students in Mrs. Reuyan's Algebra and Geometry classes got to participate in a growth mindset activity. They all had a famous celebrity taped to their backs. Their job was to determine who was taped to their back by only asking yes or no questions to their classmates. The students were able to create their own way of questioning and write their answers on white boards. Once they determined whose name was on their backs, we discussed why I selected these celebrities. They all struggled through obstacles in life, but ended up successful. We talked about Dr. Seuss, Henry Ford, Katy Perry, Albert Einstein and many more!
Holy moly! It's hard to believe you all are in 8th grade! I look forward to seeing you all this school year in your classes and during our gifted lunches! My goal is at least 2 lunches a month! Please be on the lookout for your lunch pass! Can't wait to see you all and catch up!
