Our 6th grade QUEST classes have been diving into the Wonders of the World! After researching and presenting various Wonders, students showcased their creativity by designing and hosting board games as part of their assessment.
It was amazing to see their knowledge come to life through fun and engaging gameplay! Keep up the great work, QUEST students!

Sweet Science Alert! Mrs. Butts and Mrs. Bolger’s 6th grade Science classes at LUES wrapped up their unit on cell theory by getting creative with animal cell cookies!
Students worked in groups to design their own animal cells using sugar cookies and various toppings. They had to think critically about which toppings best represented the organelles they’d been learning about. From frosting to candy, the creativity was off the charts!
What a fun and tasty way to solidify their understanding of cell structures!
