CONSOLIDATED GOLD MINES MIDDLE SCHOOL FIELD TRIP

Our middle school students had the opportunity to step back in to history, 1828. We visited the gold mines in Dahlonega, Georgia. Twenty years before the 1849 Gold Rush, gold was discovered there. The students were able to see where it all happened, deep underground. Students also had the opportunity to pan for gold and some gems for themselves. We all walked away a little richer.

ELEMENTARY STUDENTS ENJOYED CHATTAHOOCHEE NATURE CENTER FIELD TRIP

The third, fourth, and fifth grade classes had a superb time visiting the Chattahoochee Nature Center for their first field trip of the 2014-2015 school year! Each of the classes was taken on their own guided tour by a Naturalist who helped them stock up on interactive science facts pertinent to their different grade levels. Students saw various bird species, including owls, hawks, falcons, and even an eagle! They also saw frogs, turtles, and a beaver’s dam! Each class also had a close encounter with one of the center’s animal residents! The students all enjoyed a group lunch on the pavilion near the lake, and they concluded their visit with an exploration of the Discovery Center.

QR CODE EQUATION SCAVENGER HUNT

Students in Mrs. Duzyol’s Algebra Honors class enjoyed solving system of equations in a VERY new and FUN way- by scanning QR codes with their smart phones and then solving each one. Each correctly answered QR coded question’s answer would lead you to the mystery location of the next QR code. Mrs. Duzyol’s students enthusiastically solved equations to be able to find and solve another one! Tell me that doesn’t sound like a math teachers dream J All the students are already looking forward to their next QR Code Scavenger Hunt experience.
