The Girls Rock Book Club met to discuss and enjoy activities for their most recent read, “Smile”, a graphic novel by Raina Telgemeier. They were also super excited to get club t-shirts to represent our school and the love of reading.
For three days at the end of January, seventh-grade students took a Learning Quest to space. With the help of three mini-grants from the Halifax Education Foundation, Mrs. Bowers-Stanley, Ms. Hamlett, and Mrs. Mitchell were able to make it happen. Physical science students participated in a STEM activity where they visited stations to create scale models of the solar system and explore the solar system through virtual reality headsets purchased with grant funding. The lesson focused on orbital paths, rotation, measurement, and distance. We would like to thank the Halifax Education Foundation for supporting innovative instruction at HCMS!
Digital Art
Mr. Layne's 7th Grade Art students created abstract designs using Google Drawings. The students learned how to make simple optical illusions using the computer drawing tools and then layer them to make more complex patterns. Students discussed ways the designs could be used in a career as an artist, such as a fabric designer or for printed work.
