PICTURES 7TH & 8TH GRADE SPANISH CLASS - PRICHARD Ms. Prichard played a really fun memory game with her students last week on Wednesday the 19th. Recently, students have been learning their spanish numbers. She set up a slide show of random numbers that would show up on screen. Students stood with their backs to the screen until Ms. Prichard called out a spanish number. At that point the students had pivot and tag the number as rapidly as possible. The goal was to tag the number before their competitor did. This was a way of making learning numbers light hearted. Link to 11 Pictures. USA BROADCAST NEWS Students were tasked with creating a newscast to present to their classmates and teachers. The photos are of two group and one individual that presented on 10-19-2022. All found ways to inject humor into what they shared. Link to 17 Pictures. INCREDIBLES TWINS
