🌱🔬 8th Grade Science Explorers in Action! 🔬🌱
Our 8th-grade students have been diving deep into the microscopic world through hands-on experiences with microscopes! 🧬✨ They've been identifying and exploring the fascinating world of:
🪴 Plant Cells
🐾 Animal Cells
🔬 Prokaryotic Cells
🧫 Eukaryotic Cells
From the intricate structures of plant cells to the unique features of prokaryotic cells, our young scientists are discovering how all living things are connected at the cellular level. 👩🔬👨🔬
A big thank you to DEF for supporting our students' learning journey and making this hands-on lab possible! The microscopes were purchased in 2023 with a grant from DEF.
Thank you, parents, for your continued support in helping your child succeed! As we prepare for state testing, here are some tips to set your child up for success:
✅ Ensure they get a good night’s sleep.
✅ Provide a healthy breakfast.
✅ Arrive at school on time.
✅ Encourage a positive mindset.
✅ Remind them to read directions carefully and take their time.
