The power may have gone out this morning, but Miss.Bolender and Mrs.Dreher’s class stayed fully charged with some outdoor reading time!⚡️📚 We grabbed our books, headed outdoors, and turned an unexpected outage into some peaceful playground-style reading time.🌳 Sometimes the best learning moments happen when things don’t go as planned!☺️

Mrs. Shrout’s seventh graders ate grasshoppers today since they have been reading nonfiction articles about insect nutrition in their ELA classes. We also read an article today from “How They Croaked.” We found out how King Tut died and the Egyptian burial practices.

In Mrs. Black, Mrs. Dreher, and Miss Bolender’s eighth grade ELA classes, students explored the topic of animal testing today through a powerful visual-thinking routine: What do you see, think, and wonder? Using a series of compelling images, students observed closely, shared their thoughts, and asked meaningful questions that pushed their thinking deeper.

This routine helped students begin forming strong ideas as they prepared to write about whether animal testing is justifiable or unethical. Our eighth graders were highly engaged, discussed, debated, and developed thoughtful claims to use in their quick-writes.

We are proud of their curiosity, critical thinking, and willingness to explore multiple sides of a complex issue!

Students in 6th-8th grade took part in this year’s Veterans Day Poster Contest, showcasing their creativity and patriotism through art that honors the brave men and women who served our country. The McClain Cadet Corps proudly selected the winning poster. Congratulations to Brooklyn Simmons for capturing the true spirit of honoring our veterans!

Miss Thieman’s health class created comics to illustrate various scenarios that would require first aid.

Students in Ms. Lagorio's class went to BTG Legacy Ranch in New Vienna. They learned about horses, cows, and some basics about riding and roping. They also enjoyed homemade ice cream made by our wonderful hosts, Ben and Calyx. We are looking forward to another visit in the spring!

In honor of Veterans Day, Mrs. Black and Miss Bolender’s eighth grade English Language Arts classes are using their writing skills to make a real difference. Students are composing heartfelt thank you letters to deployed servicemen currently stationed in Kuwait, expressing their gratitude for the sacrifices made to protect our freedoms. Through this special writing activity, students are not only practicing the art of letter writing, but also learning the importance of kindness, appreciation, and service to others. Their messages remind those serving far from home how much they are valued, respected, and remembered, especially during this season of honoring our veterans.

Congratulations to Ray Keeton for winning the Write in Red: Red Ribbon Essay Contest. Ray will receive a $100 cash prize and be eligible for one of the five countywide $500 scholarships. Great job, Ray!

Mrs. Shrout’s students shared their area legends and scary stories around “the campfire” today for language arts. We set the mood with campfires and lighting and listened to awesome storytellers.
