7th Grade Spanish students at NBAMS spent the last 2 weeks learning about the ethnic cuisines of the different Spanish speaking countries. Then they picked a country to become an expert on and created a food truck to "sell" their authentic foods. They wrapped up the unit by getting to taste a variety of foods from Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama.
Thanks for a great 2025-26 school year! Have a great summer and we'll see you in the fall!
NBAMS 6th grade Spanish students spent a week creating games to teach Kindergarten Spanish students basic conversation words. The 6th graders then visited the Ed Center and spent the class period teaching and playing their games with the younger students. As it was such a beautiful day, the classes met outside to learn under the sun. Sounds like fun!
NBAMS 8th graders just completed their Watercolor Fish painting projects. Students learned four watercolor techniques: wet on dry, wet on wet, lifting (both wet and dry) and dropping color in. They were challenged to use all four techniques in their projects. Students could choose their own species of fish to use for a reference, then they free-hand drew it on 12"x18" paper. Many fish chosen can be found in Minnesota lakes, while others were of a tropical origin and there was even a deep-sea anglerfish depicted as well!
Students learned that most fish have a sensory organ called a lateral line that runs from the gills to the base of the tail. The colors, values, textures and shapes created were beautifully impressive! Proud art teacher is Lee Ann Falen.

In 8th grade, math students worked with Scientific Notation by doing the Scoville Heat Units Lab. Students tested a variety of salsas, used a sugar water solution to dissipate the pepper's heat and collected the data.
The sugar water solution was measured in drops, therefore, really hot peppers have quite large numbers. Because of this, those numbers are often written in scientific notation, which is why the measurement is named Scoville Heat Units (SHU). The data will then be averaged within their group and shared to compare against the whole group.
