Mrs. Nelson’s American Studies 9 students created a cat’s meow sharing environment, complete with floor seating and a fireplace, to share ducky 1920’s stories with their peers. Combining slang words of the decade and poster images, students wrote copacetic tales about tomatoes and big cheeses. The class was on the trolley and hitting on all sixes!

The college prep physics proves that clockwise torques and counter-clockwise torques are equal in order to achieve rotational equilibrium!
The latest chapter of the Fairview-Cholet Exchange was a huge success! 26 students and three teachers from the Renaudeau High School spent two weeks living with Fairview families. From the moment the students were reunited after the June portion of the program, to the excursions to Niagara Falls, Pittsburgh and Cleveland, to the moments spent in classes, to the various activities arranged by host families, to the farewell dinner and the teary-eyed goodbyes on October 23, this will go down as one for the books. We look forward to hearing about the students staying in touch and perhaps even getting together again. À la prochaine!

Business Day at Behrend: Fairview Business students had a chance to visit Penn State Behrend and see college professors in action teaching a variety of business classes. They took a tour of the campus and visited college classrooms.
Before students can apply strategies for finding probabilities and interpreting them they must understand the vocabulary of probability. Students used a game called dice shuffleboard to begin to understand the important terms. After the game they gave examples from the game for each term.
Fairview School Foundation's FHS October students of the month. These students were recognized for our second pillar of ROAR, which is Ownership.

Dr. Tim Bianco of Allegheny College visited Economics students in Mr. Brinling's class. Dr. Bianco shared his experience with the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States as well as advice on careers in economics.
Students in Baking Basics are completing their observations from our science experiment lab! Each group made chocolate chip cookies, testing a different leavening agent or amount of flour. Our control group cookie used 1 tsp of baking soda. Other groups used 1 tsp of baking powder, 1/2 tsp of baking powder and a 1/2 tsp baking soda and no leavening agent. We then had two groups that went back to 1 tsp of baking soda but changed the amount of flour to more or less than the control. This was a great way to see how baking truly is a science!
Fashion 1 students worked hard to complete their sewing project before the end of the quarter! They needed to cut and pin their fabric before sewing! They got to choose the amount of stuffing their pillow had and hand sew the opening closed!
Grade 9 American Studies students create white board notes about World War I home front topics to prepare for class presentations in Mrs. Nelson’s classes. Our essential question: How did the “Great War” war affect the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens?
Mr. Barbour's AP Research students visited the Mercyhurst U library to continue finding peer-reviewed sources for their research project. The reference librarian helped a lot, and the students did an incredible job. That second 15-source annotated bibliography should be complete soon!
The Current Events class toured Mercyhurst University's Intelligence studies program. The students got an Intel overview, toured the CIRAT Center and engaged in some experiential learning discussions. Thank you to Mercyhurst University for this wonderful opportunity!
The College Prep physics determines the coefficient of friction of two different surfaces.
The AP physics is examining the relationship between centripetal force, radius and mass of rotating object.
Last week the Crochet Club spent some time after school making and creating Halloween projects with spooky colored yarn, googly eyes, and a little (or a lot!) of peer support!
Mr. Parmeter's Algebra 1 classes are finishing up the unit on linear equations. The students are applying what they know from class to real world applications. In this math lab students are fitting a line to a set of data, and using that information to predict what will happen in the years to come. The first set of data shows the number of cases of Food borne Botulism in the United States, and the second set of data shows the average and maximum longevity of various animals in captivity.
