More pictures from our projects including the championship 7th grade project/team can be found at the link above!

Students were asked to demonstrate "division of labor" and were assigned jobs to perform in order to complete this project. Students were then asked to work together combining their resources to complete this project.

Project Completion

Today we finished the Newspaper Construction Project. Students were excited to test their projects. Our fiercest compeition was between the three 7th grade classes. They were asked to construct a table out of newspaper and duct tape (with limitations) that would hold at least 5 textbooks. All three classes far exceeded that mark with my 7th period class winning the competition by holding 27 textbooks!

RMS Updates

Welcome everyone! I hope you found the blog easily and I hope you find it informative for you as a visitor. I will update this blog weekly if possible to make sure current updates are always on this site. The first four weeks have been AWESOME! The students have accomplished a lot within this first month.


So far students have completed one project titled Technology Around the Globe. Now the classes are racing against one another in a grade level competition to construct the sturdiest table (7th grade) or stool/chair (8th grade) only using newspaper and duct-tape. Students are finding that this unthinkable feat is achievable and the projects are coming together nicely.

I will post pictures and videos soon from the first few weeks of school!
