Awesome Job!
Algebra Exam
Click the link below to see Boone students mentioned in an article from the Lake Wales newspaper. We were one of only two non-charter, non-academy schools in Polk County to have a 100% pass rate on the Algebra End of Course Exam!

Boone CSI
Boone CSI
Mrs. Horn's pre-AP class completed a unit on crime scene investigation a couple weeks ago which ended with an actual crime investigation. Teachers around the school volunteered to take roles as suspects in the crime: an arson in the media center! I was a suspect (and the hero--I called 911!), but as you'll see in the video, Mrs. Torres was found guilty...
Mrs. Horn's class also did a really fantastic job preparing for and acting out a mock trial after the end of the investigation.
I just had to share. Kudos to Mrs. Horn's class!

Final Posters
Final Posters
For the final day of classes, I wanted the students to have a chance to research one of the countries we discussed this year. Using the Time for Kids website, students researched one country indepth, completed an outline, and then created a travel poster informing their classmates about the country.
They followed a rubric that required them to draw, share information from their outline, and explain why that country was important to learn about. You can see Molea's, AJ's, and Edwin's posters above.
More to come later!
Helping Out the 8th Grade History Class
Civil War Ambush
In addition to working on the WebQuest last week, my 8th period class got a surprise visit from Mr. Pendergast's 8th grade history class. Mr. P recently started a unit on the Civil War and taught his students how to walk in battle formation...into my classroom!
The 8th graders ambushed my 6th graders during 8th period with paper ball bullets!
And then we got back to Africa :)
