Students in Ms. Pulsifer's 8th grade Science classes are studying the internal and external structure and anatomy of crayfish. Students have been drawing the crayfish, labeling the different anatomy, and learning about crayfish native to West Virginia. For the culminating activity of this unit, students will dissect a crayfish next week.

Escape rooms were in abundance last week at Charles Town Middle School. Students in Ms. Purkey's 7th Grade Science classes used their knowledge of plate tectonics to help a scientist escape a dangerous situation. Students in Ms. Agunsday's and Ms. Meadow's 6th Grade U.S. History Classes worked in groups to solve four tasks about World War II to get the phrase that would allow them to escape the classroom. Students enjoyed this fun and collaborative activity.
