In school there will always be problems to solve, lessons to learn, but most of all, experiences to enjoy. Today was one of those experiences. 7th grade enjoyed talking with @theworldwalk about his walk through the USA to his hometown in NJ. π @JamesPDeegan@SauconValleyMS
Tomorrow 7th grade will have the opportunity to zoom with Tom, the man who has walked the world with his dog companion, Savannah, at 10:15am. We are so appreciative of his time and willingness to tell his story and inspire our students! @SauconSuper@JamesPDeegan
Climbing from Base Camp to Camp 1 through the Khumbu Icefall. Some made it, others succumbed to altitude mountain sickness, various seracs and avalanches while others fell through crevasses. #geography@JamesPDeegan@SauconValleyMS π
From Lukla to Base Camp. Students in social studies began their hike to base camp; stopping at Namche Bazaar and Duglha. Acclimatization points along the trail are critical to give yourself a better chance of a safe and successful trek to Everest. @SauconValleyMS@JamesPDeegan
Blooket: Monsoon Asia. Success is not an accident, success is a choice. It is you who decides to be successful in life. If you make a choice to do something big & put in the right efforts, success will be yours. Believe in yourself. #growthmindset@JamesPDeegan@SauconValleyMS
What is it, you might be wondering? A multi-genre research project is a mixture of imagination, research, reading, writing, and ingenuity. @SauconValleyMS@JamesPDeegan@SauconSuper
Open notebook assessments in social studies provides students with a second learning opportunity to absorb and understand course materials and encourages students to find and evaluate resources which is a lifelong learning skill. #socialstudies@SauconValleyMS@JamesPDeegan
If you believe in it, then you can achieve it. Improving our knowledge of the Sahara and Sahel region in Africa. Competition motivates. Check out the progress and growth in learning as students compete in the same blooket each day! #growthmindset@JamesPDeegan@SauconValleyMS
When DNA is taken out of the cell and stretched out, it looks like a twisted ladder. Students in 7th grade used color marshmallows, twizzlers, and toothpicks to construct a DNA Double Helix. @SauconValleyMS@JamesPDeegan#dna#science#middleschool
Illustrating transboundary pollution in social studies today using confetti! The idea that the impact one has on a local environment could be carried to impact an environment thousands of miles away. #7thgrade#geography#svms@JamesPDeegan
In Social Studies class students are learning about the conflict over land in the Amazon Rainforest. They completed a social media profile page (selfie) for different groups and how they want to use the resources inside of the Amazon Rainforest. @SauconValleyMS@JamesPDeegan
From Sea to Sea. Today our 7th graders went on a virtual field trip in Social Studies to Canada! Itβs amazing how much we can help students understand the world with the use of technology. #geography#canada@SauconValleyMS@JamesPDeegan
