The 5th graders love Christmas PJ Day!!

📸 Photosynthesis Relay Race: Hands-On Science! 🏃♀️🧪
My students brought the curriculum to life today with an energetic Photosynthesis Relay Race!
Light-Dependent Race: Teams raced to break apart water into hydrogen and oxygen and transfer ATP and NADPH (modeled by liquid and cards), simulating the energy transfer from the light reactions.
Calvin Cycle Construction: Students then used color-coded pieces (Carbon, Oxygen, etc.) to physically build glucose, demonstrating how carbon dioxide is "fixed" into sugar.
It was a fantastic, movement-based way to master the concepts of energy flow and molecular assembly in plant biology!

7th graders competed in the Ancient Greek Olympics with Chariot Racing, Relay Racing and long jump among others.









The 8th graders got to work with their peers and move around to the 4 grammar stations in Mr Sailer's ELA class. They obviously had fun and learned at the same time!

The NK LEGO Robotics team, the Lone Rangers, made a presentation at the school board meeting on November 24. They showed their impressive coding skills for the current season's robot challenge called "Unearthed". Their competition will be on January 10 at Wright State University in Dayton!





4A students began presenting their "Passion Projects" last week. They researched a topic or question that sparked their curiosity and presented their knowledge with a slideshow or poster. We learned some very interesting information!







We will be on a 2-hour delay tomorrow, Tuesday, December 2.
