In the Classroom (continued)
by MMI Prep
8th grade American Government classes tried to solve the case of the lost colonists on Roanoke Island. They had six stations which allowed them to move around and analyze primary sources from the island and colonists. This class also created dioramas depicting one of the Bill of Rights. The objective of the project was to create how a student views that amendment in the United States, either currently or during the time period it was established.
In Mrs. Katie Zucco’s 6th grade World Cultural Geography class, students have been learning about the physical features of the Earth. They conducted research, wrote reports, and created beautiful diorama displays of the various World Culture Zones.
In art class, 7th graders completed Tim Burton inspired self-portraits.
Students in World Religions class learned about different holidays around the world and competed in a high stakes game of Dreidel for coffee and sweets!
Ancient Civilization students in 8th grade were assigned an ancient Egyptian pyramid project while learning the process of embalming, mummification and the use of pyramids. Each student was assigned to create their own pyramid, sarcophagus, and hieroglyphics. They also had to include five artifacts they would want to take to their own afterlife.
MMI students learned more about what a CRNA does before Thanksgiving when past parent Debra Minzola, Director of the Geisinger/Bloomsburg Nurse Anesthesia Program, and her students visited Mr. Michael Mele’s science classes. Students got to experience intubating, gowning/gloving, epidurals, and more.
Language classes celebrated the Three Kings on January 13 by providing a full assembly to the MMI student body. Students wrote and starred in their own play, gave the history of the Three Kings, and 10th and 11th grade students presented their piñatas and hats representing various Spanish speaking countries.
MMI Celebrated the Lunar New Year as Chinese language students created projects and decorated the School to commemorate the Year of the Rabbit. Students enjoyed an authentic Chinese lunch in late January and wore red to mark the start of the 15-day Lunar New Year celebrations.
