Bruno Upper EL Classroom

Can you believe it’s already December? Students continue to stay busy and engaged in lessons throughout the week. In Junior Great Books, students are wrapping up The Mixed Up World of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler and will be presenting their projects on December 13th and 14th. Geography students continue to make educated decisions regarding their businesses and the stock market, and some are learning real-life lessons about taking big risks, versus playing it safe. The ancient colony of Harapu is still an ongoing interesting topic in Cultural. In Science, students are wrapping up the end of the Zoology unit with discussions on animal adaptations and needs.
