Exploring Tech

Submitted by nathan.mohler on

Exploring Tech classes built some paper rockets and launched them during class. They were allowed to use 2 sheets of paper and a cork nose piece, some school glue to build the rockets.  We had rockets that went from 20 yards up to an impressive 150 yards and everywhere in between.  The students recorded the distance their rockets went at different pressures.  Some students tested different variations of fin types to see how that would affect the rocket's flight.

During the summer, MJHS students were invited to participate in a reading challenge. They had to read at least four books from four different continents--either the setting or author from different continents. Their reward was a pizza party. Congratulations to Summer Heringer, Anne Eastwood, Morgan Hill, Lily Robinson, Kyleigh Richards, and Zoey Fluckiger for completing the summer reading challenge! 
 

From Our Spanish Teacher, Mr. Thomas

Submitted by nathan.mohler on

In Spanish we do weekly FVR (free voluntary reading) time.  There are a variety of books from basic to advanced, comic books, graphic novels, joke books, magazines, leveled readers, short stories, and poetry.  The students get to select their choice of reading material and then the rule is to read for the allotted time, no electronics, no talking.  I play some meditative music.  Reading is the data-proven method to achieve literacy in any language. Thanks for the books.   The shelf has what was left after they picked.

Chromebook Distribution

Submitted by jolynn.ford on

We will be distributing chromebooks this Friday during English classes. Your student must have their Chromebook Usage Agreement form to receive their chromebook. Your student will receive the Chromebook Use Agreement form on Wednesday. 

These devices will be available for students to use in class as well as taking them home for homework, etc. The school filters will still work off campus. There is an optional $30 protection plan which covers incidental damages to the chromebook.
