Congratulations to Bobby Ruth, who made the 8th grade JH Mixed All State Choir and Ely Trosky, 7th grade, who made the JH Treble All State Choir. OKCDA Junior High All-State consists of two virtual audition rounds. Students prepared three difficult pieces of music and scored in the top of their region and the entire state! They will get to attend a virtual festival in January.
Emmalynn Roberts, 6th grade, auditioned for OkMEA Children's All State Chorus. She recorded vocalises, harmonization exercises, and a prepared song to submit and compete against 3rd-8th graders across the state of Oklahoma. She is now considered a top singer in the state!
We are SO proud of all of you!

Who loves a roller coaster? 🎢 Students in Mrs. Steffey's class created a COASTER lab to learn about potential and kinetic energy. The coasters were made by the students who used marbles to show the different energy used. What a fun lab!

🚀Space "TaterNauts" & The Science Behind Spacesuits🚀
Mrs. Rahn's STEM class investigated how the layers of a space suit project astronauts from extreme conditions outside of the International Space Station or on the Lunar surface. Using the engineering design process, they participated in a simulated spacesuit design challenge to create a suit that protects their "TaterNauts" from micrometeroroids and orbital debris.
Students' spacesuits were also judged on design and style.

😷Masks are a big part of the 2020 school year! Why not tie (dye) them into a science lesson? Our 7th grade science students are learning about the physical property of solubility. Students are tie-dying masks with markers to illustrate this.

This year has been filled with chatter of how hard 2020 has been. And, that is undoubtedly true.
But, as we observe Thanksgiving today, let's remember there have been moments of wonder, beauty, and celebration in 2020 as well.
We have met new people and learned new skills. We experienced new ways of seeing the world, impacting lives, and helping others. Let's not forget the cherished time spent with family. And, maybe, just maybe, these tough times have allowed us the sacred opportunity of growing.
One of the most beautiful things is how people have come together to support each other. Drive-by birthday parties, companies sharing resources for free or at discounts to help educators do great work even though they were facing the unknown. Parents sending extra hand sanitizer, tissues, and gift cards to show their support and love for teachers. Restaurants feeding first responders and healthcare workers. These moments have been inspiring.
Yes, there have been some gruesome moments in our world this year, but there are moments that are worth holding onto with a very tight grip.
Let's be great curators of the moments deserving our attention.
We may not be sitting around the table together, but we do hold each other in our hearts and consider each of you a blessing in our lives.

WIN (What I Need) class is a 30 minute class where all students have an opportunity to have targeted learning time based on their needs. During WIN, Mrs. Rahn's students were creating their own math games using playing cards. One group came up with a game to simplify fractions and another group game up with a multiplication war game.
They taught the game to others in the class.
