7th graders in Mrs. Writt’s geography class have been working hard to understand different types of economic systems and government structures through hands-on activities.
Students worked in “factories” with varying natural, human, and capital resources to create paper chains and learned the difference between market and command economies.
They also used gummy bears to create scenes to demonstrate their understanding of various government structures.

In sixth grade science students learned about the different body systems by performing a readers theater. Each student played the role of a different body system arguing their case to a 'judge' to determine which body system was the most important. Students truly enjoyed the drama of arguing their case. In the end, the judge determines that all of the body systems are important in keeping our bodies functioning.
Students in Ms. Skelton’s 7th grade Exploratory Spanish class engaged in a variety of collaborative learning tasks to enhance their communicative skills. They practiced introducing themselves and others by asking and answering questions while playing card games. They also did peer reviews of a trading card they created to introduce a historically or culturally impactful Latino person.

A huge shoutout to these dedicated individuals for going above and beyond to make learning come alive for our 8th-grade students! 📚✨ Recently, they took the time to lead an insightful tour and discussion on the school's boiler system and HVAC setup, diving deep into the world of thermodynamics right alongside our science class. 🏫🔧
Their commitment to education extends beyond the ordinary, turning the intricacies of heating, cooling, and thermodynamics into an engaging and hands-on experience for our students. 🌡️🔍 The enthusiasm and knowledge they shared have truly sparked curiosity and inspired our future engineers and scientists! 🚀🔬
Thank you, Mr. Seiser and Mr. Schrauth, for your passion, expertise, and for making learning an adventure! 🙌👨🔧👏 #EducationInAction #STEMEducation #InspiringMinds
Assistant Child Care Teacher (ACCT) students earned their first of many certifications this week. This state certification verifies that they have completed prevention training in Abusive Head Trauma and Shaken Baby Syndrome. Great job ladies 👏🏻
Our 8th-grade students came together on Friday to honor our veterans and their sacrifices. We had an insightful discussion about the true meaning of Veteran's Day, and it was heartwarming to see our young minds reflect on the importance of this day. To show their appreciation, they also got creative and made beautiful cards for our veterans, filled with heartfelt messages and gratitude.
But that's not all - our students also wanted to share their support with the community, so they made a special sign to display in the school windows. It's a simple yet powerful gesture that serves as a reminder for everyone passing by.
In celebration of Veterans Day, 7th graders learned the meaning of each fold of the American flag.
The sixth grade students learned interesting facts about Veteran's Day by completing a Scavenger Hunt in small groups. They also made a 3-way agamograph collaboration poster to recognize Veterans’ Day. One view of the poster shows a soldier. Another shows dog tags, and the third shows a flag.
6th Grade Art students learned to use the pinch method to create ceramics and made pinch pot pumpkins. They demonstrated the ability to score and slip, as well as other methods when constructing with clay. These awesome 6th graders were also able to construct a clay tile that represents themselves as an extension activity. This is the beginning of a series of skills designed to get them prepared for the next level and ultimately high school.
8th grade students pose with the clay mugs they have created. The animal/creature themed mug is an accumulation of the skills learned in 6th-8th grade, and prepares them for more advanced courses in high school. Who doesn't like Art they can drink out of?!
Entrepreneurship welcomed Raina Lyman & Tracy Dieckman today to help us work through our Envision Greater Fond du Lac business pitches for their competition on Monday. Wish them luck!
This week some of our Middle School Student Council Members attended a leadership conference hosted by Ted Neitzke, CESA 6 CEO, in Oshkosh, WI. Students learned about recognizing strong qualities of leadership through reflecting on people they admire and learning more about what it means to work and inspire others.
Our students now have the task of inspiring those around them to be "buffalos" and charge into any storm showing perseverance and grit.
This week in 8th grade math, students used their knowledge about triangles in order to explore the angles of other shapes and then look for patterns and find shortcuts to find their angle measurements.
8th Grade US History students in Mr. Writt's class, recently researched and built cubes to demonstrate their understanding and knowledge of Native American tribes and culture. Twenty-six different Native American tribes from across the United States were selected, including several from Wisconsin. Students shared their cubes with their classmates in a gallery walk style presentation. These tribes played a pivotal role in American history and will pop up throughout our class this year.
