Second grade students made Stone Soup!

Second graders compare different animal groups-Insects and Fish.  Students recorded, in their lab data books, contrasting body types.  We examined multiple insects and noted gills and fins on our fish examples.

First graders continue their study of Natural Resources.  They identified different types of soils based on characteristics associated with each one.  They used balance scales to compare weights of soils, and magnifying glasses to examine textures.

1^st grade

Twas the day before Thanksgiving, eight boys and girls take a field trip to a turkey farm. They have fun playing with eight exuberant turkeys, but are shocked to learn that Farmer Mack Nuggett plans to kill all the turkeys for Thanksgiving dinners. So the children decide to smuggle all the turkeys home, and all their Thanksgiving dinners become vegetarian this year. The turkeys’ lives are saved!
After reading this fun and wacky story with our students, we brainstormed ideas of what we could eat instead of turkey. We then compiled a list using commas to separate each item. Make sure you check out our turkey display in the hallway.

 

2^nd Grade

Second graders worked with their classmates to compete STEM activities. The students used team work to put their ideas to life as they used cardboard, toothpicks, paper, pipe cleaners, and tape to construct

a covered wagon. The students reflected on their work to determine how their product was successful and which ideas were their best. The students will test their covered wagons to determine which wagon can hold the most weight.

 

FUSE

5th grade FUSE Writing students worked with partners to learn more about athletes from their favorite sport of choice. Once completing their research, they will work to develop a writing and technology piece to asses and share their learning.

Model UN

Clarksville Academy was well represented with 37 delegates at this year’s Model United Nations Annual Conference held in Murfreesboro on November 3-5. With 1,000 students from all over Tennessee in attendance, this conference was the biggest yet. The countries of Brunei Darussalam [Will Mabry, Macy Truitt, Georgia Smith and Daniel Loos] and Latvia [Maggie Clark, Cheyenne Deibert, Brennen Morrow and Ben Truex]  had their resolutions ranked favorably enough in Committee on Friday to make it on Saturday’s docket in the General Assembly. Brunei’s resolution 17-7-4 was for the Colonization of the Earth’s Moon and Latvia’s resolution 17-2-3 was A Resolution to Encourage Discussion Regarding State Use of Information and Communication Technologies. Both of these resolutions came up for debate and Latvia’s resolution was passed by the Red General Assembly. At Sunday’s award ceremony Cheyenne Deibert was recognized for receiving an Outstanding Delegate Award and the Dominica team of Rosie Robinson, TJ Jenkins, Jason Herlick and Hunter Kueter received an Outstanding Resolution Award for their resolution 17-4-19 which was A Resolution to Improve Education in Developing World Countries.
