RENAISSANCE RALLY!

What a great Spirit Week! Here's what happened with the JAGS this week.

Science
We have been making clouds and we compared alcohol and nitrogen to make clouds. Mr. Rogers showed us the parts of the atmosphere. Also, we are going to be working with papers to show definitions of our atmospheres.

Language Arts
In Mrs. Raney's we are learning about poetry with the poem Molly Means and a nonfiction article about the T. Gondii disease.  Work on your IXL and Mobymax and Quizlet! Also, AR above and beyond readers were treated to an ice cream sandwich at lunch. The mystery reward will be Monday for students who doubled their goal.

Pre-Algebra
Ms. Lang is planning to review for our  assessment. Mrs. Lang is going to do a special Halloween activity on Friday. We are learning how to do percents of error, and percent of increase or decrease.

Look Out! The Mullet is Making a Comeback!

The Week Before Fall Break

SCIENCE
In science, life science and fossils has been the focus. After fall break, students will continue an activity with dinosaurs.

LANGUAGE ARTS
POETRY! Students have been collaborating with Mrs. Nevitt (media specialist) to begin writing a draft of a poem for Veteran's Day. The students will continue to work with her in the upcoming weeks to create a finished piece to share with local veterans. AR points are also due on October 15.

MATH
The main talk of the JAGS team this week has been math & mullet ratios!

Here are a few JAG students sporting the mullet.  This has been a fun way to learn ratios and lead into our next focus of fractions and percentage.
