Seventh graders in Katie Bauer’s social studies class at Ridge Junior School recently embarked on an educational journey with their Greco-Roman Museum Artifacts Project. The assignment challenged students to analyze the enduring impact of Greek and Roman culture on later civilizations, including the world today. By stepping into the shoes of museum curators, students selected one Greek and one Roman legacy to create 3-D visual representations, which they showcased in a classroom museum.

Behind the long line-up of fun, hands-on projects in a new junior school math elective is a whole lot of geometry, algebra, percentages, probability, and other grade-level math concepts. The new course, open to both seventh and eighth grade students, reinforces the learning standards that students struggle with most on the state’s math test and gives them opportunities to apply them to real world scenarios. “They’re doing a lot of math and sometimes don’t even realize they’re doing it,” said Next Generation Stats teacher Pam Purcell, who teaches the new course at both Plains and Ridge junior schools.
