Science: Sixth grade students conducted various chemical tests on the contaminant's solids and liquids in an effort to identify the components of Fruitvale's barrel contaminant. We are now analyzing data to determine the best mode of transportation, and route, to deliver the contaminant for proper disposal., and will soon hold a debate to determine which mode of transportation is the best choice.

Communications: Students are exploring the concept of 'interpretation' using artwork, song lyrics, and poetry. Students wrote a metaphorical piece in the creative writing realm, and are in the process of creating a personal 'mantra' to help motivate and inspire.
