ELP 6TH GRADE

In ELP we are reading a book called Maniac Magee. Maniac Magee is about a boy whose parents died and then ran away from his aunt and uncle.

Coming up

We will be having a pizza party Thursday, October 17th. The reason why is because in the book Maniac Magee Maniac is allergic to pizza and won a year’s supply of pizza also we will be tasting butter scotch krimpets.

Thanks for reading our blog!!!!

Genius Hour---Take One!

The 6th and 7th Grade ELP students have recently wrapped up an independent study in a program called "Genius Hour".  Students selected a topic/idea/theme they had a great deal of interest in or passion for, mapped out a research plan and final project idea, created a final project and then presented their projects to their peers.  We had students with projects ranging from creating rainbow cupcakes to experimenting with "elephant toothpaste and building sugar rockets.
