6th-8th grade students will conduct research and participate in a Socratic Seminar discussing "What defines genius?" based on the contributions in art, inventions and writing by Leonardo da Vinci. Students will be able to investigate ways that this historical figure has influenced 21st century innovation. Students will also be creating interactive digital notebooks this year with their ipads.
Students will also engage in some fun terminology activities designed to help them prepare for the ACT and their career of choice. Studies have shown that an extensive vocabulary leads to advanced reading, writing and speaking skills.
We are also excited to explore and build with makerspace utilizing classroom resources and the Learning Commons. Students will also have access to Edmodo this year.
I want to thank everyone who has made me feel so welcome at ESMS this school year. Let's make 2015-2016 a year to remember!
