The 6th graders are starting a unit on soil! This will coincide with the Middle School's Planting Day next week. The science classroom will be turning green with plant life, and we'll be examining how soil affects the plants. Stay tuned for pictures of out plants in a couple of weeks!

11/13 This week the 6th graders continued their exploration of natural resources in science class. After completing their energy project, we took a deeper dive into different sources of renewable energy. Biomass and nuclear energy are types that have a lot of potential, that scientists are still learning a lot about. Imagine being able to turn on a light bulb from energy from animal waste! Or being able to harness nuclear energy and travel through space- not a reality yet, but we saw the enormous energy potential by watching a video of solar flares. Next week we will do the always classic lab on cleaning up an oil spill. Announcements: Please arrive at school before 7:55 AM. Parents - please fill out Pick Up patrol every morning, even if your child will not be attending school that day. As part of initiatives to keep our students well, we ask that snacks and lunches contain minimal sugar.

While the nation awaits election results, the sixth graders at HCA have a decision! In homeroom, they held a mock election and Joe Biden emerged as the winner. Lord Voldemort (a fictional character from Harry Potter) came in at a close second.  Ms. Zafiris's math class is hard at work tackling the division of fractions. Our sixth grade will soon be undertaking their very first science fair projects. For some inspiration, the students explored last year's projects. Soon they will propose their own research topics. Stay tuned to learn more about their investigations.  November 6, 2020 Parents - please fill out Pick Up patrol every morning, even if your child will not be attending school that day.
