The Junior Ag Entrepreneur class has been working through types of businesses, the last two days they've been playing a scenario game (similar to monopoly) to better understand investing shares into other businesses. They've had a blast with this.

Mr. May's English IV students made clay representations of the battle with Grendel from the epic poem "Beowulf". The class located textual evidence for support and explained the reasoning for their 3-Dimensional creations. Afterwards, they read about Beowulf's battle with Grendel's mother and were able to describe elements of an epic.
