JHS students in Ag Mechanics work on the various steps of refurbishing the work benches that are located in the shop. Hours of sanding is required before they can move forward. Upon further findings it appears the work benches were built out of the original gym floor from the high school. Once refinished these work benches will be moved to the CTE area of the new Julesburg School District.
To celebrate FFA week, our students participated in class color wars and class tug-of-war contests. All students who dressed up won a cookie! The student selected as best dressed was Collin Lechman. The Seniors won the tug-of-war contest by outlasting the Juniors in the championship match. The Freshmen earned third place.
In second grade we utilize the videos that come with our series to introduce and explain new concepts. They are quick, funny, and engaging. The lessons then go on with the gradual release model. First the teacher shows the students the steps, then we practice the steps or success criteria together. Next, the students complete some problems with a partner. After all that practice, students complete the rest of the lesson on their own. The lesson ends with an exit ticket. This is one more chance for practice to prove they understand the lesson. The students know the routine and comment how much they like math.
Ms. A and her 4th graders we're practicing their critical thinking skills. She wrote a word on the board and students had to think what the rule was by coming up with other words. For example chip was written (the rule was words that started with ch) if the word did not follow the rule it could not go on their "trip".
Due to weather and road conditions, The Julesburg School District will have a late start at 10 am tomorrow, February 23rd.
Congratulations to Jolene Mathies for earning the Good News Call of the Day from Mrs. Renquist! Jolene did such a great job on her online classes last semester that her teacher, Mr. Galen Harkness, asked if he could use some of her work as examples in future classes. Jolene was excited to share the news with me. Jolene showed a huge improvement last semester on staying on top of her classes and working ahead. Way to go Jolene!
