Shakespeare Shows Off His Own Work!

Shakespeare was especially excited to visit Mrs. Oros's literature class! They were learning about the format of his sonnets.  Students were working in groups to identify the rhyme scheme in Shakespeare's Sonnet #18 and analyze its meaning.  Not all of the lines in the poem were in the correct order, so they had to reorder the lines using what they learned about rhyme scheme.

The students were excited to have Shakespeare visit during their class!

Stay tuned for more of Shakespeare's adventures...

Shakespeare experiences the real world application of modern scientific instruments.

Shakespeare loves being invited to the science classrooms. So much has changed since his glory days in the 16th century! The sixth grade scientists did not disappoint him. They took him on an adventure with some high tech scientific measurement tools as part of their physical science unit experimenting with waves. 


The class used PASCO probes with light sensors to measure the intensity of different light sources and of light bouncing off of objects in the room.  This was a great way to experience scientific principles in action! They gained an understanding of reflection, absorption, and transmission, the students use the light sensor probes in a variety of investigations. 

Students are continuing to use the light sensor probes in a variety of investigations in order to gain an understanding of reflection, absorption, and transmission of light!
