Amidst all the activity of Spirit Week, our seventh grade students were hard at work on several projects. In science, they engaged in a planning process to tackle issues of food scarcity in a population.  In language arts, the students completed their video recording of their adaptation of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. After reading the play, the students worked in different small groups to rewrite each scene. Check out the link below, along with some photos of Spirit Week theme days!

In the science lab, Zayda worked with her partner Andrew to consider the possible effects of their proposed solutions.

Tuesday was Twins and Triplets Day!
