Last week, Mrs. Cannarella’s class began exploring the scientific method! Students started with Step 1: Observe and Ask Questions. They carefully examined their hands and generated thoughtful questions such as, “Why do we have fingernails?” and “Why do our hands have lines on them?” Their curiosity sparked discussion and set the stage for scientific thinking. Next, they’ll move on to Step 2: Forming a Hypothesis, as they continue learning how scientists investigate the world around them. #PanthersRISE

Ms. Revis’ AICE European History students brought history to life with an Enlightenment Speed Dating activity! Each student took on the role of a famous philosopher, then paired up for timed rounds of introductions and discussions about their thinker’s key contributions and beliefs. The challenge? To find their “perfect philosophical match” while deepening their understanding of Enlightenment ideas and themes. This creative activity not only made complex content fun and interactive but also strengthened students’ ability to explain and compare the influence of major philosophers. #PanthersRISE

Ms. Ryan’s AICE Psychology students rotated through stations to evaluate the ethics of five well-known psychological studies, identifying which APA ethical standards were not upheld and explaining how and why those violations were problematic. This hands-on activity challenged students to think like psychologists while deepening their understanding of moral responsibilities in research. #PanthersRISE

highlighted on our social media next week and also featured in the September 7th Panther Family Newsletter. I like to work a week ahead, so this way your great classroom work gets the recognition it deserves. Thank you for creating such engaging, hands-on experiences for your students. They not only gained valuable practice in measurement and filtration, but also strengthened essential lab skills and etiquette they’ll carry forward into future experiments. I’ll also be sending you a virtual walk-through feedback form so you have my feedback in writing. Keep up the excellent work—your students are lucky to have these kinds of learning opportunities in your class!
