In English II we are continuing to read Bodega Dreams, a story about Chino, a man trying to provide for his family who gets caught up in Willie Bodega's dream to change the Spanish Harlem neighborhood of New York City. Students are building their communication and collaboration skills as they discuss what makes a relationship toxic and how do you determine what is "right". We will continue to read this book until the end of the semester when students write an analysis for their summative essay.

Over the past couple of weeks, juniors in physics have been mastering their understanding of the laws of motion and applying them in real-world scenarios and problem solving. Students were able to apply their understanding to find reason and understanding in unfamiliar situations as well as learn a couple of tricks and skills along the way. Students are now switching gears towards building their own multi-step machines for their next solving challenge. We will be sure to share some of their creations with you!
