Sophomores in Life Skills learn that the deepest need of the human heart is to be understood. Here they are reading about the five poor listening styles. Those styles include: spacing out, pretend listening, selective listening, word listening and self-centered listening. Each group provided live examples to teach the other group what these poor styles look like.
Julesburg Elementary School ended it's celebration of Dr. Seuss' birthday and Read Across America Week with a visit from a special and local author, Kayla Friend, author of two beautiful children's stories, "What Leprechauns Don't Want You To Know" and "Follow Your Wings". Kayla came to our school to share these wonderful books and to talk about her experiences leading her to becoming an author. Our students had so many questions and thoroughly enjoyed their time with Kayla. Books were purchased by Julesburg Elementary School and will be available for students to check out at school. We will also do a book give-away at our next Coffee Talk on March 31st. In addition, we would like to give a special thank you to Dennis Aulston for connecting us with Kayla. This connection was made after JES students selected a favorite book and then painted a ceiling tile illustrating their favorite book to hang up in our school to celebrate all things literacy. Dennis shared this information with Kayla who was so excited to see that kindergartner, Sara Crowder had chosen one of Kayla's books as her favorite book. Thanks again to Kayla and Dennis and we can't wait to have her back!

Who needs to skate at Rockefeller Center when we have a perfectly good rink in our own school yard? Second and Third Graders loved skating on the frozen football field at lunch today.
Third Grade has been learning about weather and instruments used in predicting and measuring it such as thermometers, anemometers, hygrometers, and rain gauges. This week we made a barometer to measure air pressure. Students will check and chart the air pressure each day over a week and see how it changes.
Jason Winter, instructor from Northeastern Junior College in the Applied Technology Department, spoke to our students at JHS today about the employment opportunities around Industrial Automation. These jobs include: Programming robots & systems used in such businesses as Amazon and any mass production facilities, Wind Energy, & Solar Energy.
Students are encouraged to attend one extra semester to get the full Industry Automation Certification which allows students to be able to be employed across the board.
They offer paid internships through their wind energy program with Nextera. Students are making $18 an hour through this program and this internship also suffices a required class for this program. Their goal is to employ you before you graduate through these programs. Program lengths . . . 18 months.
Students got to try on the harness used to work on wind turbines.
Students learn the difference between herbicides and pesticides. They also learn the uses for each.
Attention all Sedgwick County Cougars in grades 7-12:
Collin Lechman and Jensen Renquist discussing a problem in their Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry course. Pre-calculus weaves together concepts of algebra and geometry into a preparatory course for calculus. This course focuses on the mastery of critical skills and exposure to new skills necessary for success in subsequent math courses. Topics include quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, radical, polynomial, and rational functions; matrices; and conic sections in the first semester. The second semester covers an introduction to infinite series, trigonometric ratios, functions, and equations; inverse trigonometric functions; applications of trigonometry, including vectors; polar equations and polar form of complex numbers; arithmetic of complex numbers; and parametric equations.
Connections are made throughout this course to calculus and a variety of other fields related to mathematics. Purposeful concentration is placed on how the concepts covered relate to each other. Demonstrating the connection between the algebra and the geometry of concepts highlights the interwoven nature of the study of mathematics.
