Mrs. Suhre's class has been reading about the NASA OSIRIS-REx Mission. NASA was able to obtain a sample from the asteroid Bennu and brought it back to earth, dropping it in a desert in Utah for scientists to retrieve and study. Last week, Mrs. Suhre's class made their own asteroids and created three versions of Landers. Their goal was to successfully drop the asteroids from space (the classroom window) to Utah (the ground) without hurting the asteroid. Everyone had fun, but only one person was successful in keeping their asteroid safe on the trip to earth!

Last Friday Mr. Son taught our 6th-grade students about ratios by having them make pancakes during class. What an incredible way to unlock the understanding of ratios with our students. Great job, Mr. Son!
The only question I have about the lesson is why didn't Mrs. Brannon or I get any pancakes????
We can't hide our Shell pride! We are so proud of our fall athletes!
