To conclude English 3's unit on The Crucible, Ms. Thorne organized an escape room that allowed students to engage with the key themes and plot points of the play in an interactive and collaborative way. Students worked in small groups to solve a series of puzzles and challenges, all related to characters, themes, and important quotes from the play. Each task required critical thinking, teamwork, and a deeper analysis of The Crucible. The final challenge involved unlocking a hidden "message" that tied back to the lessons learned from the text. The students were enthusiastic, and the activity sparked great discussions afterward.

Students actively participated in various multicultural activities designed to celebrate and explore diverse cultural backgrounds. Through these interactive experiences, they gained a deeper appreciation for different traditions, customs, and perspectives. Additionally, they had the opportunity to connect with representatives from various student organizations, learning about the clubs and groups available at TCC that support cultural awareness, academic interests, and personal development.

Mrs. Bright's Physical Science class recently began their unit on atoms, ions, and isotopes. Although these concepts exist at the atomic level, students brought them to life using models to construct atoms. By adjusting the number of neutrons and electrons, they explored how atomic mass and charge influence the formation of ions and isotopes, making abstract concepts more tangible and engaging.




Happy Friday!
