Moving Westward: Pioneer Simulation...

Oregon or bust! We’re currently in the middle of a pioneer simulation, on an imaginary wagon train heading for Oregon. Each student is his/her own wagon, complete with alternate identities, livestock, occupations, and sometime families. As part of the wagon train, students encounter “fates” (rattlesnake bites, broken legs, lack of fresh water, lost members of the train, etc.), delays, and other common hardships of frontier life. So far, we’ve made it to “Prairie Crossing”!

Solar Car Race...

It’s that sunny time of year; state tests are almost over and we need a brain break! Sounds like the perfect opportunity to race solar cars! Tomorrow’s the day! Time to set up the cones, break out the stopwatch, and identify some racing variables! Whoo hoo!

Edit: What a time we had! Thank you, Bailey, for taking such great photos!
