Week Sixteen - USAF Museum

This Week

This was a short week, but students had some very meaningful experiences today going to the USAF Museum and hearing from Holocaust survivor Ira Segalowitz share about his escape from Poland and into the USSR, where he lived with his mother for three years as WWII raged on. Thank you to him, the USAF Museum, and all of the parent chaperones who helped make this trip possible! Upon our return, students heard from a guest lecturer, Dr. Jason Deibel, who spoke to the students about lasers and many other cool physics topics. Thanks to his former student and current DRSS teacher, Ms. Camden, for arranging the visit. All in all, it was a great way to end a short week!

Here are some photos from the trip...

Also, the results everyone has been waiting for... the winning group for the scavenger hunt (by far, with 71 points!) was Mr. Federinko's group, Group 4! Congratulations to all the students who will be receiving extra credit:

• Starr

• Matthew
• Cameron
• TJ
• Sterling

Great work all!

Upcoming Week

When we return, students will be finishing up our unit on genocides and beginning our study of conflicts of the 20th century. We will focus special attention on the Conflict in Northern Ireland, Kashmir, and end with the Israeli Palestinian Conflict.

Have a great Thanksgiving break!
