Sixth graders recently completed independent research projects on historical figures of their choosing. The project involved researching information in the library, writing a paper, and orally presenting and portraying the information. When they presented their projects, students dressed up in a way to portray the person. Some of the historical figures that students chose were Queen Elizabeth, Magic Johnson, Amelia Earhart, and Albert Einstein. The goal of the project was to teach research skills to the sixth graders.

Tenacre fifth graders gathered for their final Spanish lunch of the year today. Part of the Spanish program, in the month of May, fourth and fifth grade students have the option to join a lunch group in which they only speak Spanish. They eat in the conference room, which is decorated to look like a Spanish restaurant. Everyone has a menu (in Spanish, of course) and must order in Spanish from the waitress (Señora Wharton). ¡Delicioso!

The sixth grade softball team defeated Fay, 5-3, on Monday. On one of the few warm and sunny days this spring, the Tigers took to the field and displayed strong bats and good fielding. Many games have been rescheduled this spring due to rain. Let’s hope for sunnier days ahead!
