The Big One!

The big one is upon us! Students in Ms. Vanni's Language Arts class have been undertaking one of their first research projects at Shadow Ridge. Over the past few weeks students have used a combination of printed and online materials to secure more information about a selected topic. An important component is for the students to learn how to create a work cited page ensuring credit of ideas to the respective author(s). Stay tuned for another update.

Finish Line!

Torrey's Peak Students are very close to knowing and memorizing all 100 affixes. In this picture students are taking the exam - keep up the hard work!

Mr. Gerber or Mr. Coniglio, who is who ;)

Why was 9news weatherperson Marty Coniglio at Shadow Ridge Middle School on Tuesday afternoon? Mr. Coniglio shared his knowledge of weather and the physical sciences with the entire 6th grade as part of Shadow Ridge's new weather station! Here is a quick clip of his appearance. You can link to the Shadow Ridge weather station on the school homepage.

Mayan Social Pyramid

Be careful not to mistake this Torrey's Peak Social Studies class for Mayan rulers, priests, nobles, merchants, artisans, peasants, or slaves!

Students are investigating the ancient Mayan city of Tikal and the Temple of the Jaguar to better understand roles and responsibilities of the Mayan Social Pyramid. Can you list three duties/responsibilities of each social class?!
