🌎✨ Pocket Solar System! ☀️🪐

Today, 8th graders in Mr. Miller’s and Mrs. Mitchell’s classes created their own pocket-sized solar systems! Working in groups, students mapped out our solar system, including the Sun, planets, and belts.

🚀 This hands-on activity wraps up Unit 3: Space. Great job, 8th graders! 🌟

8th Grade Students Reflect on the Oklahoma City Bombing

Before fall break, the elective teachers taught Cheyenne 8th graders meaningful lessons about the Oklahoma City Murrah Building bombing of April 19, 1995. Through activities like Leaving a Legacy, The Survivor Tree, Remembering the Victims , and The Investigation, students explored themes of resilience, hope, and remembrance.

The week concluded with a visit to the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum, where students experienced the story of that day and its lasting impact on our state and nation. 💛
