📚 Classroom Spotlight: Math Detectives on the Case with Ms. Slaughter! 🔍➕
Students in Ms. Slaughter’s class recently became math detectives, racing against their classmates to solve their assigned case first! To identify the suspect, students had to solve problems involving missing angles by applying what they know about angle relationships.
After finding each answer, students came to the board to eliminate suspects. Through a process of elimination, the remaining person became the "criminal" they were searching for!
This fun and engaging review activity gave students the opportunity to practice angle relationships formed when parallel lines are cut by a transversal while building their problem-solving skills and enjoying a little friendly competition.

Classroom Spotlight: Constitutional Convention Simulation 🇺🇸
Students in Ms. Davey’s AP United States Government and Politics class recently stepped into history through a Constitutional Convention simulation. Working in groups, students represented different states and factions, each with their own priorities and goals for creating a "new" Constitution.
Through discussion, negotiation, and debate, students gained a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by the nation’s founders and the compromises that helped shape our government. Learning history by experiencing it firsthand makes the lesson come alive!
