Students taking College Precalculus Classes at GFW High School were about the graphs of functions with the help of an online graphing calculator - Desmos. They worked collaboratively with their group which made their learning experiences meaningful and fun!
Students in fourth grade at GFW Elementary School got to do some real deal hands-on learning recently in the STEAM room!
Classes had the opportunity to dissect cow eyeballs from a local butcher shop, which has become a favorite activity.
"The first question I usually get at the beginning of fourth grade is 'when do we get to dissect eyeballs?'" said STEAM Teacher Amy TenEyck.
Prior to the dissection, students learn how different parts of the body work together as a system and how eyes work with the brain. During the dissection, students are able to see first hand the different parts of the eye we learned about during their first weeks of school.
So cool!

Students at GFW Middle School had a lot of different activities to choose from for last week's reward day!
Recently, Playworks Recess coach Julian was on site to train our 4th and 5th grade students how to be Junior Coaches at recess. They got to practice their skills and are excited to be able to be a coach at one recess per week!
As part of the focus on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) at the high school, we now have reserved student parking for our S.O.A.R.S winners each week. If they get their names drawn and they choose that reward, they get a designated parking spot. Thanks to our Firebird Manufacturing class we now have our own signs.
It’s been a popular choice!
