First graders are learning how to find facts on their iPads to write their informational reports.
Highlighting and rally coaching helps students to improve their fluency in second grade. Each week they receive a new fluency read that works on our sound for the week. Students love to "be the teacher" for the other student. The highlighting helps students track which line they are on.
Games, games, games! When you play games you don't even realize you're learning.
Second grade loves math games. This math game works on adding three digits which matches our lesson.

Julesburg High School was well represented at the Elbridge Gerry Chapter of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution reception this past Saturday in Sterling. 8th grader Owen Harris was the district winner of the American History Essay, "Delegate to Second Continental Congress" which he recited at the reception.
Senior Kierra Ehnes was selected by her peers to be the DAR Good Citizen representing her school district. Kierra then submitted her essay entitled "Our American Heritage and our Responsibility for Preserving It" with the focus question of: "How will the essential actions of a Good Citizen (dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism) meet the challenges that America faces in this decade?" Following the recital of her essay it was announced she had been selected as the district winner and scholarship recipient. Kierra's essay will now compete at the state level.
Congratulations Owen & Kierra.

Third Grade working on their graphing skills. Students chose a city and looked up the annual precipitation for each month. Students then put their research into a graph like scientists do with the data they collect. They shared their findings with a partner.
Being a senior is no easy task especially when it comes to collecting, identifying, deciphering, and conveying your personal information onto your General Scholarship Application form. Seniors in Life Skills worked tirelessly setting up their personal applications to catch the Grantor's attention in hopes of receiving scholarship money for their post-secondary education. Seniors here are gathered around the printer anxiously awaiting to see how their final application actually printed out!
The sophomores in Life Skills Class are learning about Relationship Bank Accounts (RBA). In this exercise students are reading about what actions are considered RBA deposits and what actions are considered RBA withdrawals. Unlike a bank where you may have only one or two accounts, you have an RBA with everyone you meet. If you smile and say hello to someone you don't know, you've just opened an account with that person. Same is true if you don't acknowledge someone you don't know, you've opened an account as well, although a negative one. How's your RBA balance?

Sixth grade is trying out a new strategy. After reading their social studies chapter with a partner, they chose one person to be the scribe and one person to find the answer. It was a good exercise in collaboration!
