Honora's reflection on the Earthrise photo:

"You can see how fragile our planet is. It looks like a blue glass marble, floating in the void of space. It serves as an ecological message...we have nowhere to go. No other little blue planet."

@CraigBLWallace @KYGSA @OldhamCoSchools Great news! Congrats to both of you!

Our 6th graders are learning about the Civil Rights Movement. They made a flowchart to demonstrate their understanding of the connection between landmark people and events. These examples are from Jordan, Edyn, & Jasmine, who did a great job with this assignment!

This week, we’re learning about language acquisition in babies. We acknowledged that the question, “how do humans learn to speak and understand language?” is a little too big to tackle on its own, so we broke the concept into sub-questions to investigate throughout the week.
