Today in Mrs. Tanners classroom 5th grade students debated which book, Shipwreck Island or Storm Runners, better fit into the genre of "Adventure." Students worked all last week preparing their statements for today, finding evidence from the text to support their arguments, and practicing their speaking and listening skills. Additionally, they had a few special guests, Judge Marshall and Officer Torres, acting as bailiff! The court concluded that " Storms Runners" was the winner! Way to go 5th graders!
Choose what book you think is more "Adventure" and let us know in the comments!
The votes are in, and the results have been tallied. We are excited to announce that the winner of the 7th Grade Logo Competition is:
Frances Cornell (Ms. Lukas's Technology class)
Check out this awesome BRPS logo that Frances designed! We love the Cardinal Pride!
Both 7th and 8th grade students got to participate in dissections this week! This is always a memorable experience for students! Way to go scientists!
The President and Vice President of the Student Council brightened the day for our Middle School teachers on Friday by delivering their Teacher Appreciation Room Service orders.
