Students in Wheeler High School's dual credit Earth/Space Science classes spent the day exploring the geologic history of the NWI region. They examined landforms created during the last ice age such as kettle lakes and moraines, and explored 4,000-15,000 year-old dunes/shorelines created when Lake Michigan was higher than it is today.
Mr. Hanaway's class worked on communication tactics today! Without using words, students were tasked with building a tower out of marshmallows and noodles. Great use of creativity to get the lesson done!
Our UCE Music room has transformed into a keyboard lab! Students in all grades are decoding rhythms, finger numbers, and pitches-even kindergarten! Music is unique in that it uses both sides of the brain to accomplish these skills. We are growing our brains in Music!
