The History Fair is Thursday, March 24, 2011! This year’s National History Day Theme is “Debate and Diplomacy in History: Success, Failures, and Consequences.” Students will be working with their their teachers to create projects that explore a topic in Chicago history that also incorporates the theme.
Eighth Grade: As a part of their culminating project for computer class, taught by Ms. Andrade, the 8th graders prepared and ran the First Peirce Technology Night to educate parents and students on how to use technology in various parts of their lives.
Seventh Grade: This month, science classes are full of hands-on activities. Students will be studying evolution through the “Peppered Moth Activity.” They will also begin exploring male body systems through the dissection of worms, starfish, squid, fish, eyes, hearts, frogs, and rats.
Sixth Grade: February is the month of field trips. Mr. Strening started out the month by taking the Humanities classes to the Oriental Institute Museum on the campus of the University of Chicago. Students had the opportunity to explore the wonders of ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt. The other field trip for the month was to the Magic Hedge to make observations in nature.
