The DLPMS Chief Science Officers spent the day at CMU attending the CSO Fall Cabinet Meeting.
Our students worked with other local Chief Science Officers to further their plans for improving our school community. Students also took part in a tour of the CMU Music Building where they had a behind the scenes experience of the Staples Concert Hall and also learned some amazing connects between science and music!

Students completed an independent Lotus Flower Review to consolidate their understanding of Ancient India. Each student built a 3D paper lotus flower with multiple petals, and each layer represented a different topic from the unit—such as geography, religion, achievements, politics, economy, and society (GRAPES).
At each “station,” students reviewed key information, answered questions, and summarized what they learned on the corresponding petal. As they progressed, they added layers to their flower, symbolizing the growth of their knowledge.
This hands-on review encouraged creativity, organization, and independent learning while providing a visual summary of major Ancient India concepts in preparation for the upcoming unit test.
