Ms. Cox, Mrs. Walker, and Ms. Cooper’s 6th grade students engaged in cross-curricular, hands-on fun this week with a slime activity for Math and ELA!
In Ms. Cox’s math class, students applied ratios from Unit 2 to the real world. Each student created individual equivalent ratios using ratio tables for different slime servings. Then, they followed their recipes to see whose slime came out the best! Perfectly balanced ratios of ingredients were key for stretchy, fluffy slime.
Next, the activity extended into Mrs. Walker’s ELA class’s informational text unit. Students first wrote a sequence paragraph to outline the steps used to make their slime. Once students composed their sequence paragraphs correctly, they customized their slime with colors, textures, beads, and glitter of their choice; to finish out the activity, each student wrote a descriptive paragraph about his/her slime’s unique sensory attributes. Learning is fun at RHMS! #WeAreRHMS
Picture retakes for in person students will be held on December 7th during the school day. Virtual students will have picture retakes on December 7th from 4-5PM in the RHMS cafeteria. Picture retakes are only for students who did not have their picture on the original picture day or ordered a picture packet that they would like to have retaken (the original order must be brought in to the picture retakes). Students should receive their original picture packet this week in home room.

RHMS Wildcats,
Regrettably, we will be canceling our annual Veteran's Day Lunch tomorrow due to 70% chance of rain and thunderstorms paired with the outdoor requirements to adhere to safety regulations.
We will have a special patriotic photo opportunity for your child tomorrow, and will be sending a sweet treat home with him or her for their Veteran (if signed up for the luncheon).
RHMS is very grateful for your service and we look forward to hosting our luncheon again next year!
Thank you for your support and understanding,
RHMS

The Richmond Hill Middle School Wildcat Football Team completed their second undefeated season in a row and repeated as Coastal Empire Region Champions by defeating Effingham Middle School 36 to 6. Mathias Clarke got the offense going early with a 70 yard rushing touchdown. Caleb Easterling also had a long rushing touchdown and played many important roles for the offense all night. Brandon McDonald and Andrew Mathews each had rushing touchdowns to put the game away in the fourth quarter. The defense was led by Andrew Mathews who led the team in tackles for loss, and recovered a fumble in the endzone for a touchdown. Aiden Grant was also able to secure a fumble recovery, and Omarion Gregory had an interception for the Wildcat Defense. Congratulations to this group of 8th graders on an outstanding middle school career and an outstanding season! Go Wildcats! #WeAreRHMS
