Negative Numbers have entered the classroom! Seventh grade students have started adding and subtracting integers. They completed a walk around the classroom and computed task cards with problems.

In our combined first/second grade writing class the students were assigned a "pre assessment" on procedural writing.
To help the students understand the amount of detail required for procedural writing, Mr. and Mrs. Sanabria read the directions on some student's' writing. They did literally what the words said.
No peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were able to be made.
This was an engaging way to make it clear for the students that they will have to add more detailed steps to make truly accurate procedural writing.
We can't wait to see what growth they will make after this demonstration.
To learn more about the symbols, places, and historic documents that represent our nation, local Veterans Jules Hoschouer and Phil Mollendor came in to teach 3rd Grade about folding the American Flag. Students learned flag etiquette, what each fold means, how to fold one, and what to do with worn out flags. Thank you Mr. Hoschouer and Mr. Mollendor for teaching us about the flag and more importantly, thank you for your service.
We want the entire community to help us recognize and celebrate the Service & Sacrifice of our Military Veterans at 9am on Monday, November 13th by attending the Veterans Recognition Assembly!
Military Veterans, please join us for breakfast @ 8 am!
Wear RED, WHITE & BLUE to show your patriotism and support for our Military Veterans!

Third Grade is working on understanding division. Students worked on separating objects into equal groups to find the number of objects in each group.
Who says division has to be hard? Fourth graders learned that using manipulatives to divide isn't so bad after all! They learned about division with remainders, and the manipulatives helped them see that sometimes numbers don't divide into each other evenly.

JHS students participated in a career expo at NJC to learn about technical careers such as electrician, CDL drivers and welding. It was a great learning experience!
FFA Nationals Part 2
Started Friday morning with a tour of Hunter's Honey Farm. There, the students got the opportunity to learn about honey production, bee wax candle making, and got to taste the different types of honey. We then traveled back to the convention where the students were able to attend more general sessions and hear more inspiring speechs from the National Officer Team. The students attended the World's Toughest Rodeo in the afternoon. We started Saturday morning, attending the American Degree ceremony. They we able to watch students be presented with the highest award in the FFA organization. We attended the Closing Ceremory where we watched the National President give his final address. Before every General Session, the students were invited onto the convention floor and stage to dance with each other. By the Closing Session everyone of our students had come out of their shell and ran down to participate in the dancing. After the Closing Session it was time to head home but we were having bus issues. The students learned patience and how to handle a stressful situation. We eventually made it home just a little later than we were supposed to. It was awesome to see our students break out of their shell and learn to interact with other students face-0to-face from across the country. The lessons that they learned will turn into valuable leadership skills.
Help send our Lady Cougars off to the State Tournament!
FFA Nationals Part 1
Julesburg FFA students departed for the National FFA conference on last Monday. We joined 11 other chapters and 95 other students on 2 charter busses headed to Indianapolis. It took us 2 days to travel to Indianapolis. We made a few stops along the way. We stopped at the University of Nebraska East campus. The students took a tour of what their Agricultural College has to offer and even got to taste some of the ice cream that is made right on campus. We stopped over at Des Moines and got to experience some Cajun Food. While in Des Moines we toured the Corteva Complex and learned how they make new varieties of corn and soybeans. While in town we were also able to tour the John Deere plant. The specialize in making Cotton Pickers and Sprayers. They got to seee how a Sprayer is made from start to finish. At both Corteva and John Deere, they learned about careers that are offered. We stopped for the night in Peoria. We continued traveling to Indianapolis through Amish Country. The kids were able to see the different ways that people in the area farmed. We continue on to attend the opening session of the 96th National FFA Convention. At the session we heard from the Indiana Governor about the importance of Agriculture. After the opening session, our students attended the CSU Social. At the social they were able to interact with other Colorado FFA members that were attending the National Conference. The next morning we toured Indianapolis Motor Speedway. After the tour, we headed back to the conference, where the students had the opportunity to attend leadership workshops, talk with the over 150 colleges that were there and the nearly 100 businesses at the Career Fair. We attended two more session of the conference listen to several inspiring speechs by the National Officers.
