Week 3 JHS Science 2023| Shifting From Routine and Community Building into Curriculum

This week's slideshow highlights: 6th and 7th graders having some fun spending their "Earned Game Time Points" midweek (the class earns points each day for exemplifying our Decatur 3 Pillars of Take Care of Each Other, Being Present, and Endure Challenges); 8th grade started digging into their first SEPUP inquiry unit of study, Ecology, with an investigation into the ecological impact of humans introducing Nile Perch into Lake Victoria in East Central Africa (this unit is setting the stage for our 8th graders partnering with professional ecologists to do work on important environmental restoration projects here in Chicago, Friends of Chicago River & Urban Rivers); thank you for checking in with us this week!
