BES Middle School Science Class: Mr. Wells shared exciting details about his 6th and 7th-grade classes. “The sixth-grade science students are currently delving into ecosystems, food webs, and food chains. Meanwhile, seventh-grade science students are exploring the Law of Conservation of Mass and learning to balance chemical equations.”
His classes feature multiple activity stations that allow students to engage with the material interactively. “Part of my system is having students explore the new subject material through visiting various activity stations. Then afterward, we come back and talk about it.” It has been noted that activity stations help to promote student engagement by encouraging movement, differentiation, and collaborative learning for students. Mr. Wells hopes that by dividing the scientific material into smaller, more digestible sections, activity stations will improve student engagement and understanding, while offering personalized support for each student.

At our Board of Education meeting last week, the LC Board set the new property tax rate at 62.0 cents for every $100 of property value. This is a small increase (from 58.9), which comes to about $31 more per year for a home valued at $100,000. This small increase is important because it makes the Lawrence County school buildings eligible to receive matching funds from the state for use on facilities. Only 0.1 cents of the increase is recallable, which would be about $1 for every $100,000 of assessed property value for a year. If this amount were to be recalled, LC would not receive those matching funds from the state to use on school buildings.
Included is a link to the presentation that was shared at the meeting. It explains all of this in more detail so you have the facts that were shared.
