Welcome! Enjoy your summer!

During the summer of 2010, students will expand their thinking and knowledge of an area to present their findings to their 8th grade classmates in the fall. Students will get a jump start on their CORE classes for the 8th grade curriculum.
The model uses higher order thinking skills, critical thinking (analyzing, evaluating, organizing, synthesizing), possibly to be sent to news stations, newspapers, internet sites, etc., to let America and the world know that the youth of today is tomorrow’s future. Students have rights and voices concerning the state of the planet when they become of age to make the important decisions concerning the future of their children.
