1-16: Reading Update

Today we continued our work around identifying two or more main ideas within an informational article.

We've been focusing on the topic of "Video Games".  Students have been reading about the positive and negative effects of gaming; how game develops keep us hooked; and the current work being done by scientists to help develop games that positively impact the brain.

M.E.S. Green Team Project

The Team Mansfield students who have taken part in the MES Green Team just finished a big project where they made posters to help ensure waste we create is ending up in the right place!  They presented to our team and will continue their mission of helping to inform MES of the importance of taking care of the environment.  Great job, Sara, Taylor, Sarah, Ty, Nate, and Hunter!
