  This slideshow highlights our 6th grade class from Room 114 presenting their Energy Fair Projects at our First Ever Decatur Classical Energy Fair! Students worked in cooperative groups to showcase their research and models on various forms of energy and how we can use renewable energy sources to meet all of our energy needs and make our world more sustainable for the future! A special thank you to Decatur Parent, Ms. Megan Zack, Associate Partner and Director of Sustainability for Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture, which specializes in innovative green building technologies, and also Ms. Liz Wimmer, Program Manager for Illinois Green Alliance, who took time out of their days to also present at our Decatur Energy Fair!

  In this week's slideshow there are pics of: 6th grade working in cooperative groups to prepare their projects for the upcoming Energy Fair on June 6th, where they will present to students and staff from other grades to teach all about renewable energy such as wind, solar, hydropower, maglev, etc., as well as energy consumption and efficiency; 6th grade also got a special visit to our classroom from freshman and sophomore college students who are part of Northwestern University's Engineers Without Borders Program (EWB), where they presented to our students how they apply the same STEM skills they are learning now to pursue their own STEM pathways in areas such as surgical medicine, neurology, chemistry, and engineering; 7th grade worked in cooperative teams exploring the anatomy of bullfrogs though our bullfrog dissection project, which is a culmination of NGSS standards that they explored this year from cells to organisms through our SEPUP Biological Science Units of study; 8th grade will also get to explore the dissection project next week once graduation practices are complete. Thank you for checking in with us this week!

  As we end the year, students spent time reflecting on their personal achievements and feelings. Then they took it step further and compared their responses to a classmate's responses.
  
  I love seeing how the students have grown to be good listeners. They demonstrate respect for others and genuine interest in their classmates.
