PreK Enrollment Night- April 20!

5th grade science has been learning about plants and animals and their food and energy. We’ve been learning about photosynthesis and how different elements combine to make compounds. Plants go through photosynthesis and use different compounds to make sugars for food. We modeled this with different colored beads to show the different compounds plants start with and what they use to create sugar. This also allowed us to see what the plants remove as waste.

6th grade has been learning about different rocks and the rock cycle in science class. We have learned how they can change over time and all rocks have different properties. We examined several different types of rocks and their properties last week.

Arnett School hosted its first Career Fair Day! There were 24 volunteers present representing a numerous amount of occupations. Students were able to ask questions to the volunteers and get information on what that occupation entails. Mr. Royal's computer class made name plate for all of the volunteers. Mrs. Dearing's class made a wonderful hospitality room for all of our volunteers to enjoy. The students helped with guiding volunteers to their rooms, setting up the rooms, and other tasks necessary to make this day happen. A big thank you to all of our volunteers for taking time out of their day to give these students this opportunity! It is appreciated more than you know!
