A STEM Designated School
What a wonderful school year we had together! We put in some hard work, adapted to new changes that our school implemented, and came out stronger on the other side. I loved seeing how you all grew over the last nine months, it is my favorite part of teaching. I will miss…your stories - your jokes - your smiles - your laughter - your out-of-the-box thinking - your ideas - your voice reading out loud - your willingness to try new things - your face when you accomplish a goal - your kindness - your friendships - your imagination - your creativity - our classroom family. Enjoy the summer and do ALL the outside things! I can't wait to see you again in August!
The eighth grade is diving into one of their biggest concepts of the school year: slope! To help understand the concepts of rise and run, they created foldable staircases that helped them to visualize the rise and run of the slope in a straight line. They were then able to compare the slopes based on the staircases that were steeper! They are nearly ready to apply this knowledge to equations of lines!
To review ratios, the eighth graders were tasked with creating their own unique kool-aid flavors. They combined traditional kool-aid flavors in specific ratios they brainstormed together in teams.
Our sixth, seventh, and eighth grade classes have spent their first week back at school participating in a new math learning style! They begin each class working together in small groups to answer an opening question that will introduce a new math concept. This new approach helps drive inquiry-based learning that is one of our goals here at SJS. I am thrilled with the teamwork I am seeing in the classroom and the academic language I am hearing! Keep up the great work, Trojans!
