Warm Beach Retreat

Hello All!

This past week, (September 20th-26th) has been quite busy in the 8th grade! On Wednesday, our grade loaded into buses and drove to Warm Beach, where we would be spending the next three days figuring out our theme, having fun, and bonding as a community. While the food wasn't great, the weather was! We all enjoyed swimming in the pool, roasting marshmallows and singing songs with Sally. One thing everyone enjoyed was the high ropes course. While working our way through a number of challenging obstacles in the trees, we all supported each other while having fun.

While having fun outdoors time, we also had Theme Consensus time, a challenging and thought provoking process to determine our area of study for the next few months. Great ideas such as Anthropology, Deep Sea Science, and Astronomy were a few of the many topics.

Great friends, fun, and themes!!

Back in school this week, we are beginning to study Forensics in science and looking at bloodstains. In Language Arts we are writing practice essays and learning good editing techniques and in Math, learning about impossible, rational and real numbers!
