Thanks so much to @JoshGibson_1911 and the Josh Gibson Foundation for the fabulous learning opportunity they provided our students and staff this week. We learned so much about the legacy of Josh Gibson and the amazing local history of the Negro Leagues in Pittsburgh.

Last week, my 7th grade science classes designed their own labs using the scientific method. Shockingly, all the classes decided to see which pop reacted most with mentos. The kids had a great time setting them up, and letting them react. The big winner: Root Beer!

HAPPY TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK!!!!!!!

[Pittsburgh Classical Academy 6-8 @PghClassical]

Thank you @joshgibson_1911 for doing such an amazing presentation for our entire school virtually yesterday. Sean is the great grandson of the greatest baseball player of all-time, Josh Gibson. His presentation talked of the legacy of Josh Gibson and the amazing local history.

Continuing to do labs live online... this week students were trying to figure out the different chemicals that make up a mystery substance through it’s chemical properties...And boy did they snoop it out. #CSIPCA #ThePCAWay @PghClassical @PghSuptHamlet @PPS-news

Virtual Lab Day! Students loved guessing which liquid (water, salt water, vinegar, vegetable oil) would have a chemical change with steel wool. Which one did you think would react? #ThePCAWay @PghClassical

Thank you to @EduPartnership for supporting us! Still getting us the supplies we need even with major constraints.

Artists at Pittsburgh Classical had a choice yesterday to work on their traditional art assignment, or go outside to create a snow sculpture that wasn't a traditional snowman. We have some very creative snow artists at PCA! #ThePCAWay @PPSnews @PghSuptHamlet

These are some of the amazing examples of original pixel art created by our PCA 6th, 7th, and 8th graders in Ms. Byers Art Class. The students spent 6 classes learning about and making pixel art with help from @pixil_art . #ThePCAWay @PPSnews
