Freshmen in Life Skills divided up into groups to discuss and critique a list of Creative Dating Ideas complied by other teens. They were able to discuss what resources they have and what were some really cool ideas they hadn't thought of. Stand out ideas among these groups included: Go to the State Fair, Swim in a lake, river, or pool, bake cookies, take a coin flip trip, (every time you come to a stop sign you flip a coin to determine if you turn left or right!) go to a nice restaurant with live musicians, & take a picnic to the mountains.

Applications, interviews, first week on the job, and finally pay day! Third grade earned their first paychecks this week. They received a pay stub and learned how to understand one. Students also learned about gross and net pay as well as taxes that were taken out. Students learned how to fill out a deposit slip to put their money in the bank.
How does earth change over time? Some changes are quick (volcanoes, earthquakes, floods, landslides, etc) and some are slow (wind, erosion, glaciers, water).
Second grade did an experiment to demonstrate what happens to the earth's crust during an earthquake.
We used orange paint as the "hot molten rock" under the graham cracker "crust."
The students moved the crust apart, got it wet and pushed it together to form mountains, rubbed it against each other, and pushed it underneath each other to show all the ways an earthquake can affect the earth.
Of course there was enough left over to sample the crust after the experiment was over.
