Greetings Rincon Community,
It was a fall like start to the week and we were blown right into the end of the week and our first ASB dance. Our ASB students created a howling good time with record attendance, thunderous music, and a dance floor that felt haunted by unstoppable energy. Thanks to everyone who came, you made the afternoon delightfully eerie and unforgettable!
Archaeological Dig Day
Uncovering the past to build skills for the future! 6th graders recently traded traditional desks for dirt, turning their classrooms into hands-on archaeological digs. Stepping into the shoes—and hats!—of real archaeologists as they dug into, "What is culture?" and "How does archaeology help us learn about the past?"
Each dig box represented a distinct historical era. Through painstaking digging, sifting, brushing, and meticulous documentation, students brought history to life.
Critical Thinkers & Problem Solvers: Analyzed uncovered artifacts and drew evidence-based conclusions about ancient cultures.
Empowered Collaborators: Worked in excavation teams, debating findings and combining insights to identify eras.
Effective Communicators: Documented their discoveries through detailed scientific drawings and explained complex excavation processes.
This cross-curricular project goes far beyond a standard history lesson—it connects academic concepts to real-world applications and empowers our students to think like true researchers.
Way to dig deep, 6th grade!
