8th grade has been learning about the Holocaust this week with Mrs. Dillinger and Mrs. Dewey. They created a timeline including Individual Profile cards, Laws and Decrees, and Historical events. This visual really helped students make connections about how the Laws and Decrees influenced the events leading up to and during WWII and how they affected individual people from various backgrounds.
There will be a freshman orientation for all 8th graders and their parents tonight at 6 in the FEMA building. All current 8th graders from the rural schools as well as 8th graders here at Bakersfield Middle School are invited!

Students were able to view real specimens and gain a deeper understanding of human anatomy in a hands-on meaningful way.
