CLASS SPOTLIGHT

In Ms. Berry’s math class, our sixth graders have been learning about ratios and rates. They created fluid painting art pieces using their knowledge of ratios and rates by calculating the cost of the materials and how much paint can be used for each painting art piece they wanted to create.

Then, they used their calculated rates to make their fluid painting art pieces. Check out their painting making process and their final products!

In eighth grade science, Washington Global’s scholars have been learning about the different states of matter, which are solids, liquids, and gasses.

This past week, our 8th graders participated in a hands-on lab by mixing ice cream with soda in order to observe the unique phase changes from solids, to gasses, and finally to liquids.

For Día De Los Mu***os, Washington Global's eighth grade students created ofrendas to honor Hispanic idols, like Selena Quintanilla, Salvador Dali, Eva Peron, Cesar Chavez, and Celia Cruz. They were able to understand a new cultural experience through a hands-on project in order to have a first-hand experience in creating ofrendas and what it signifies.

CLASS SPOTLIGHT

Last week in Ms. Thomas's science class, Washington Global's eighth grade students studied the changes that happen to physical matter. They took crumbled leaves, toasted marshmallows, torn pieces of paper, and baking soda and put them into water to observe the changes that happened. They then had to determine if the changes were physical or chemical.

CLASS SPOTLIGHT

Continuing with their unit about the Earth's makeup, Ms. Mansaray's sixth graders completed a webquest about tectonic plates and boundaries. At each website they visited, they collected definitions and examples of terms relating to the unit, like divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries to bring practical knowledge to the concepts they have been studying.

CLASS SPOTLIGHT

In Ms. Mansaray’s science class, our sixth graders constructed Play-Doh models of the Earth.

By engaging in a hands on project, students were able to cut open their models and could see the green crust, the purple mantle, the red outer core, and the yellow inner core, demonstrating what they have been learning.
