Weekly View of Why Students Love Learning at AHB

7th/8th: Week of Dec 8

We survived “Flumageddon” this week, with an average of 50% of our Epsilon students in attendance throughout the week. We appreciate those who stayed home to limit the spread of the illness, and we even managed to get a little learning done! Math: This week the 7th graders covered non-proportional relationships and studied for their check-in next week. The 8th graders worked on reviewing angle relationships with parallel and transversal lines. Towards the end of the week they completed an art project to help them identify angle relationships. The Algebra students completed an escape room to review the entire semester. […]

This week was full of fun things for the Gammas. We enjoyed hibernation day on Tuesday, and since we earned 100 Twiggy tickets, we also got to have hot cocoa with marshmallows! We said goodbye to our last butterfly on Wednesday, and we had a blast on our field trip to the Wildflower Center Thursday. The weather was perfect and we learned so much. Tons of thanks to our parent drivers and chaperones. We couldn’t have done it without you. Math Gamma 2’s dipped their toes into algebra this week, by looking at patterns in tables. We were blown away

We’ll continue working to strengthen these skills all year, but having laid a strong foundation feels like quite an accomplishment. Book Clubs are wrapping up for the year!

What’s Around Me? We traveled North along the Appalachian Trail to meet the First Nation people who blazed it! We explored the Northeast Woodlands Region of the United States. The lands of deciduous forests, rivers, and the Great Lakes are rich with natural resources. It was also the birthplace of one of the world’s oldest democracies. The beautiful book Hiawatha and the Peacemaker guided our discussions this week. It is the story of the Haudenosaunee (People of the Longhouse – they go by the name Iroquois too) comprised of five tribes, Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, and the Seneca, who agreed

K/1st: Week of Dec 1

What’s Around Me? This week, we traveled to the Southeastern region of North America. We learned that the mountains there are ancient and used to be taller than the Himalayas! What happened to them? We had some great ideas…some thought maybe they were so heavy, they sank back into the Earth’s crust! Others thought that animals may have worn them down with their endless climbing on them. And some hit the nail on the head: weathering broke them down, and water and wind carried away the detritus! Alphas knew that when rain falls, gravity makes the water flow downward, so
