Mission: The Highland School District aspires to be

a challenging and exciting school district in which students achieve

personal responsibility, social maturity, and academic success.

Project Lead the Way

The third graders have been working on their Project Lead the Way module,

stability and motion, for the past three weeks. The students started out learn-

ing about simple machines. They used their Vex construction kits to build a lever,

inclined plane, and a pulley. Then they created a compound machine. The next

step was studying magnets. Using all of the knowledge gained in the activities

and project, the students were ready to solve a problem. They needed to build a

machine that consisted of at least two simple machines and would rescue a tiger

from a moat. It had to lift the tiger four inches and deposit it safely away from the

area it was trapped, use a magnet, and create a harness that would not pull on the

animal’s head, tail, or legs. The students had to use collaboration, communication,

creativity, and critical thinking to solve the problem! •

We extend our congratulations to all of the Student Athletes who participated in both Volleyball and Football this fall. Both teams put in countless hours working to improve both their skills and their overall health through these oppor-

tunities. Families celebrated their accomplishments with these Student Athletes at their Fall Awards’ Banquets. Highland Community Schools appreciates the commitment put forth by the entire community in their continued support of these Student Athletes, the Coaching Staff and the programs they represent. Thank You and Go Cardinals! •

Caroling in DodgevilleMembers of the Highland High School Choir went caroling at Bloomfield Nursing Home in Dodgeville on December 15. This was a volunteer opportunity and the Choir recognized the need to spread holiday cheer. Members of Bloomfield Nursing Home enjoyed listening to the Choir sing, and joined in singing familiar holiday songs! •


Each Fall, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) issues Accountability Report Cards for schools

and districts in Wisconsin. This document is meant to be a quick reference for the three types of school-level report cards issued: the public School Report Card, Private School – Choice Students Report Card, and Private School – All Students Report Card. These report cards help parents and educators understand how their school is doing, as well as where it can improve to help all children learn, advance to the next grade, and graduate ready for college and career. Our goal is for every student in Wisconsin to graduate, and to be ready to pursue further education and a career. The report cards are designed to inform parents and the community, and to drive discussion about our children’s learning.

How can parents use the report card?

• Review your child’s School Report Card every year.

• Ask school staff to sponsor a parent meeting to talk about the School Report Card. Review the areas of strengths and improvement it indicates for your child’s school and district. Ask school staff what steps the school is taking to help students succeed and improve.

• Support your child’s learning and your child’s school. Ask your school principal how parents can help the school improve. Attend school events such as family learning nights with your child. Volunteer to help at school events or to work one-on-one with children to improve their skills. Join your school’s parent group to learn more about school programs and efforts that make the school a better place for all students.

• Bring the School Report Card to parent-teacher confer-ences and talk about the student performance data in the report cards. Ask your child’s teacher about classroom data as well. Ask how you can help your child improve and be on-track to their next milestone.

How can educators use the report card?

• Review the School Report Card and, when appropriate, District Report Card every year.

• Review the report cards as a team. Identify areas, based on report card results and other school or district data, where performance has improved or declined. Collaboratively work to identify steps to build on areas of improvement and quickly address areas in need of improvement.

• Communicate your action plan to all stakeholders: admin-istrators, colleagues, students, parents, and local leaders.

• Identify ways that each stakeholder can help implement the action plan. How can parents help improve the school? What can teachers and principals do to improve the school? What is the student role in your school improve-ment plan?

Where and which report cards are provided?

Report cards are publicly available online: http://dpi.wi.gov/accountability/report-cards. To assist schools and districts in identifying their areas of strength and weakness, but also provide a snapshot of performance, two report card PDFs are provided:

• Summary: a one-page (front and back) overview that summarizes performance and provides the accountability score and rating.

• Detailed: a more in-depth look at the data behind each of the Priority Areas and Student Engagement Indicators. It also provides supplementary detailed data on student performance that can further inform school improvement efforts.

For the first time in 2016-17, schools participating in the Private School Choice Program will receive accountabil-ity scores and ratings on their report cards.* 2015-16 was the first year private schools participating in the Choice program received report cards, though they did not have scores or ratings because report card calculations require more than one year of data. Beginning in 2016-17, each Choice school is issued a Private School – Choice Students Report Card, and schools may also opt-in to receiving a Private School – All Students Report Card. To learn more about Wisconsin’s school accountability system, please visit: http://dpi.wi.gov/accountability. •

KINDERGARTEN PROGRAMSThe district is planning for next year’s kindergarten programs.

• If you have a child that will be attending the 4-year-old kindergarten program this Fall, please call the district office (929-4525) by February 9. Children must be 4 years old by Sept. 1, 2018 to enroll in the 4-year-old program.

If you are new to the district and have a child that will be attending 5-year-old kindergarten this Fall, please call the district office (929-4525) by February 9 to register your child. •

SoftballpracticebeginsMarch12

BaseballpracticebeginsMarch19

Any high school student planning to participate needs to make sure all forms are turned into the office. If you are not sure if everything is turned in, contact the high school office.

For all 6th through 11th grade students interested in participating in football or volleyball next year their grades at the end of this semester are very impor-tant. The grade requirements apply to all 8th graders becoming freshmen, as well as any high school student.

It also applies to the 6th and 7th grade girls interested in Middle School

volleyball at the beginning of the school year. Each student is responsible for making sure that

they have at least 3 C’s and no F’s for their 2nd semester grades. Second semester grades determine eligibility. The WIAA requires that schools use the last grading period to determine your eligibility. It is very impor-tant for our students to continue their hard work in all classes to guarantee that they will be successful, and if interested in sports, be able to participate from the first day of practice next fall. Please remind your student(s) that now is the perfect time to begin thinking about next school year! •

SPRING SPORTS PRACTICE

LET’S GO CARDINALS!


HIGHLAND HEALTH UPDATES

MEDICATIONATSCHOOL

If your child requires medication and/or an inhaler at school, please remember that we require a permission form to be filled out before we can administer it. If the medication

is prescribed by a physician, we require both a parent and a physician signature, this includes inhalers. If it is an over-the-counter medicine, just a parent signature is needed. There are two separate forms that are now located on the school’s website. Go to “District Information” and click on the applications and forms link.

MENINGITISVACCINE—HIGHSCHOOLSTUDENTS

Meningitis is a serious infection of the covering of the brain and the spinal cord. This infection can be treated with antibiotics, however, many people who get this disease die and many others are affected for life. This vaccine is highly recommended for adolescents 11 through 18 years of age. This vaccine is impor-tant for people at highest risk, mainly college fresh-men living in dormitories. Many colleges and voca-tional schools require or strongly encourage this

vaccine.

Two doses are recommended: the first dose at age 11 or 12 and then a booster dose at age 16. If the first dose is given after the 16th birthday, a booster is not needed.

This vaccine is available at your doctor’s office for those with medical insurance. It is available at the Iowa County Health Department for those who are uninsured or who have BadgerCare. To make an appointment to get the vac-cine there, please call 930-9870.

If you have any questions about this vaccine or if your child needs it, feel free to call me at 929-4525, Sharon Friederick, RN, School Nurse.

WHENSHOULDIKEEPMYCHILDHOMEFROMSCHOOLBECAUSEOFILLNESS?

Children can become sick quickly. You should be aware of signs and symptoms of an illness and not send your child to school if any of the following symptoms or illnesses listed below are noted. School is not a place that a child can easily rest if they are not feeling well. Illness can be passed on to others easily in the school environment. Please keep your child at home if:

• FEVER – Fever is defined as having a temperature of 100 degrees or higher. If your child has a fever in the morning before school and you administer Tylenol or Ibuprofen, the temperature will be controlled for approx-imately four hours. When it returns at lunchtime, you will be called to come get your child. Children should not return to school until they have been fever free for 24 hours without the use of Tylenol or Ibuprofen.

• Vomiting

• Diarrhea –runny, watery stools

• Body rash with a fever

• Sore throat with a fever and swollen glands, difficulty swallowing, difficulty speaking

• Eye discharge – thick mucus or pus draining from the eye, or pink eyes

If your child is being treated for strep throat, pink eye, or any other condition that warrants the use of an antibiotic, they cannot return to school until they have been on the antibiotic for 24 hours.

Most physicians prescribe antibiotics, eye drops, etc. that are to be given three times a day. These can be given before school, after school, and at bedtime. These times help avoid sending the medicine to school. •

PARENTS OF 4K AND 5TH GRADE STUDENTSA note was recently sent home with those 4K students who need the required immunizations before school starts in the fall. Current 5th grade students must receive a Tdap, tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough) immuniza-tion before they enter 6th grade. The importance of this vaccine is discussed in another article in this newsletter.

Students with health insurance will need to have their immunizations done by their primary health care provider/clinic. Those who are uninsured or have Badgercare may get theirs at the Iowa or Grant County health department, free of charge. •


REMINDERParents and/or guardians are asked to notify the school office by telephone prior to or on the day of an absence. Calls made on the date of an absence should be made by 8:30 a.m. So that we do not have to disturb students during class time, please send a note to excuse them from school if they will be leaving for a scheduled appointment. Elementary students are asked to bring a note if their afternoon routine will change, i.e. you will pick them up, rather than they ride the bus. •Thank you!

ELEMENTARY/MS SPRING PICTURES

On April 3rd, Highland Elementary

and Middle Schools will be par-

ticipating in the Spring Portrait Program

offered through Lifetouch National

School Studios. We are asking that

all students get photographed as our

schools benefit financially just for tak-

ing part in the program. A more casual

background, along with posing, is used

for these portraits. No money is due on

Picture Day and there is no obligation

to purchase the portraits. A few weeks

after the pictures are taken, each stu-

dent photographed will receive a pack-

age to take home and parents will have

the option to purchase some, all, or none

of the portraits. Any unwanted portraits

must be returned to school. •

Semester 1 Report CardsSemester 1 report cards are available through your Infinite Campus Portal. Please call the school if you would like a hard copy of your child’s report card. If you need help setting up your Infinite Campus Portal, please call the school at

608-929-4525. •

4K Screening

Highland is hosting their annual Early Learning Play Day for incoming 4K students for the 2018-19 school year.

Intern TJ Cool Testifies In Favor of College Merit Scholarships

TJ Cool, a student at Highland High School and intern in our office, was given the oppor-

tunity to testify before the Assembly Committee on Government Accountability and Oversight this week. TJ voiced his support for a bill that will appropri-ate the interest from the normal school fund for the purpose of creating Wisconsin Merit Scholarships in the amount of $5,000. These scholarships would be available to a student enrolled at a UW institution and graduated from an in-state high school.

As a current high school student, TJ looks forward to applying for these merit based scholarships as he looks at attending a UW school. Incentivizing Wisconsin’s best and brightest to attend college in our state will hopefully encourage them to stay and work in Wisconsin following graduation. •


JUNIORPLANNINGCONFERENCEMrs. Hesseling will be holding Junior Planning Conferences with Juniors and their parents. Conferences will be held from January 9th to February 9th. Contact Mrs. Hesseling by phone or at [email protected] to schedule a meeting. •

A.C.T.TESTFORJUNIORSThe ACT test is a test that four year colleges use as a part of their admission evaluation process. All Juniors are required to take the ACT with Writing on February 27th and the ACT WorkKeys on February 28th. This test will be admin-istered by the school and is free of charge. A letter will be given to each Junior with more details about this testing.

There are also several other opportunities throughout the year for students to register and take the ACT exam. There is a fee involved with these exams. Students can find more information about these exams and can register to take these ACT exams at http://actstudent.org. If students plan on taking the exam on April 14th they need to register by March 9th and/or if they plan to take the exam on June 9th they need to be registered by May 4th. If the registration date is missed, there is an additional $29.50 late fee. If you need further information, contact Mrs. Hesseling in the guidance office at 929-4525. •

P rom 2018Junior Prom will be held on Saturday, April 14 from 9:00 p.m.–midnight. Grand March will be at 9:00 p.m. The Juniors voted to include all class members on court. The king and queen will be announced the evening of Prom. We hope to see you there. •

YOUTH OPTIONS PROGRAMAny Sophomore or Junior (next year’s Junior or Senior) has the option to enroll in a college class for both high school and college credit. The program is called Youth Options and next year’s Juniors and Seniors who are interested in the program need to see Mrs. Hesseling. Students interested in this program are required to fill out an application by March 1st which notifies the school board of his/her intent to be involved in Youth Options. If you have any questions, call Mrs. Hesseling at 929-4525. •

Business Students Receive College CreditThe Business Department offers several courses that are transcripted through Southwest Technical College. Transcripted courses allow students to take college level courses locally and receive cred-it for their academic effort. First semester 25 business students received college credit. In the future they will be rewarded for their efforts by having a college transcript already started going into their freshman year off college. This means they will not have to retake the classes at most technical colleges and some four-year colleges; worse case scenario four-year colleges will accept the courses as elective credits. If students take advantage of the transcripted business courses while at Highland they can leave with as many as 11 college credits, almost a semester’s worth of classes already on their transcript. If you would like to further explore this avenue in the 2018-2019 school year contact Mrs. Hesseling or Ms. Matthias for more information! •

INFORMATION FOR JUNIORS

Hurricane Donation

During homecoming, the Highland High School Student Council raised money

through several different activities and fun-draisers. This was around the time Hurricanes Harvey and Irma went through Texas. We found out that the Hennessey’s had relatives in Texas and their school needed some help. The Student Council will be donating five hundred dollars to Meadow Wood Elementary School in Houston, Texas to help their art department purchase new supplies. •


A Snapshot of J TermTo start off the new year and the second semester, the Winter Olympic Games

arrived in Highland, WI. For our J-Term week, students spent their time researching Winter Olympic events, PyeongChang, South Korea, other countries participating, and famous athletes! Students were able to try out their figure skat-ing moves at the Ley Pavilion, Harris Park ice rink as well immerse themselves in what it means to be on an Olympic team while watching the movie Miracle at the Dodge Theatre. On January 5th, to conclude our J-Term, we had our very own games, complete with an Opening Ceremony for the elementary students. After the Opening Ceremony, the middle school and high school students competed in events all day. Students were extremely creative in recreating their Winter Olympic event throughout the week, and despite the cold temperatures, every-body had a blast! The following week, the students could not wait to hear the final medal count! What a fun, educational experience for all! •

Portfolio Presentations


This past fall, the freshmen and sophomores worked on their “Dust in the Wind” seminar. This seminar had

many parts: direct instruction, a Lit Circle, Stock Market Project, hands on soils activity day, a guest speaker on the Dust Bowl and soil conservation. In the end, students made connections between all the parts and connections with the title of the seminar “Dust in the Wind.”

Direct instruction included Ms. McCarthy discussing soil development, soil structure and characteristics, and the biogeochemical cycles that affect the soil and its nutrients (nitrogen cycle, phosphorus cycle, carbon cycle, water cycle, etc.). Students also explored how various farming practices affect soil health and the health of streams, ponds, lakes, and rivers. In addition, they learned how much of the earth’s land surface is used to grow crops and how precious this land area is. Ask them about the apple activity.

In the Literature Circle, students read Of Mice and Men with Mr. Kieler. This book taught the students about the harsh realities of the Great Depression while demonstrat-ing the importance of hope and friendship in an unlikely setting. Students had the opportunity to reflect on symbolic significance, the purpose of extended metaphor, and the importance of overcoming adversity.

As a part of their Economics curriculum, Mr. Scanlan taught students about stocks, bonds and investing, while connect-ing it to the stock market crash and the Great Depression. Students then took part in a stock market simulation project in which they “bought” stock in numerous companies on the New York Stock Exchange. They then tracked their stocks, did some more speculating, and then sold their stock about two weeks later. The project concluded with a short pre-sentation in which students shared information with their peers about which companies they bought stock in, how their stocks did, and what they learned about the process of speculating on the stock market.

“Dust in the Wind”


On September 25th, students had the opportunity to work with experts from the various county government offices and other guests to conduct hands on activities. At one sta-tion, students learned about the various types of soils found in our area by investigating the texture and nutrient levels of the provided samples. Another station had students com-paring the amounts of water runoff on an open field versus an alfalfa field. They also compared the amount of water that passed through each type of ground and were asked which they would like to take a drink of. This same station had students determine how fast water seeps down into the soil in areas of high and low traffic. They also used a piece of equipment to measure the level of soil compaction at dif-ferent sites on the school grounds. Connections between soil health were made.

Mr. Hillers of the Richland County Natural Resource and Soil Conservation office taught students how to use the various pieces of equipment he works with to create con-tours for farmers. In addition, he discussed the importance of contours related to conserving our precious topsoil. Students even had the opportunity to set up a contour on a piece of sloped ground.

Lastly, Mrs. Abbott of the Iowa County Land Conservation Department discussed how prairies of long ago helped form the richness of the soils in our area today. In addition, she talked about how the root systems of the various plants can grow over 15 feet into the soil and how this allows more water to infiltrate deeper into to subsoil.

It was a beautiful day to be outside with students and it gave students the opportunity to work with teachers and experts from outside the district. The experts are always impressed with the knowledge our students have and how well man-nered they are. We would like to thank Mr. McCauley who volunteered to run the soil texture and soil testing station with Mr. Kieler. His knowledge of soils really helped us out. We would also like to thank Dave McSherry for coming to help Mr. Scanlan with the water runoff, infiltration, and compaction station. It is always a pleasure to have him back in Highland.

On October 5th, Mr. Gene Schriefer from the Iowa County UW-Extension office came to discuss the causes of the Dust Bowl and the changes that occurred in farming techniques as a result of its devastation. In addition, he talked about how Wisconsin played and still plays an important role in soil conservation both in education and in practice.

All in all, we feel we had a successful seminar and we hope the students learned the importance of soil stewardship so we do not lose the precious topsoil we have. After all, it takes 100-400 years to make 1 cm (less than ½ inch) of top-soil. Thank you again to all of our experts and guests. Your willingness to share your knowledge is greatly appreciated. We hope to see you again in two years! •


Design SquadTypically the first Friday of each month, the entire middle school is buzzing with excite-ment. Our STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) challenges in IPT are a hit. Students are typically given a bag of supplies and problem. They then have a certain amount of time to build a device to solve the problem. Challenges this semester have included building ramps, making a house of cards that holds weights, creating a device that could pick up candy pumpkins, and creating a self-propelled sleigh that moves the greatest distance.

6th & 7th Grade Canoeing TripWhile the 8th graders are off kayaking, the 6th & 7th graders head to Blackhawk for an afternoon of canoeing and community service. While there, they are taught canoe safety and how to properly handle a canoe. Due to the large number of students, we split up into 2 large groups. While one group canoes, the others do community service projects for the lake. Students learn that not only is Blackhawk Lake a wonderful resource, but that it takes a lot of work to keep it clean for all the visitors.

Helmuth & GinsengWhen you have local experts, you have a rare treasure. Over the years, the middle school has developed a wonderful working relationship with Helmuth Krause. He has taught our kids so much about natural ginseng and what it can do for them. A small group of students even made multiple trips to his farm. In the process of this

working relationship, he has donated ginseng seeds (and walnuts) to the middle school students to plant in the school forest. We can not wait to see what starts growing!

Be a TreeAt the beginning of the year, each middle school student claimed a tree at the park. Every month we go and visit “our” trees to see what changes are taking place. Along with the visit, our field program includes stories or short videos for the theme of the month. Then while at the park, stu-dents are challenged to write about their tree on a certain topic. During the month of October, we read about how trees have seen many things in their lifetime from the book If Trees Could Talk. Then stu-dents were asked to create a fictional story about what they believe their tree has seen. The journal entries from stu-dents have been amazing to read. It is a great outlet for the creative juices to flow.

Snapshots of the Middle SchoolIn Highland, students are exposed to a wide variety of non-traditional educational experiences. The first semester of the

2017-2018 school year has been no different. We are excited to share some of the highlights of our numerous activities

with you. It is our Interdisciplinary Project Time (IPT) and Field Days that make all the difference in the world. Please take a

moment see what the semester looked like through the eyes of the students.

Salsa MakingHave you recently seen the pile of stinking, rotten, dirty hay we have out in front of the building? It may not look like much now, but what comes out of it each fall is pretty amazing. Middle school students are in charge of our lasagna garden. Late fall comes the layers of cardboard and old hay. After the winter of decomposing, it is ready to be planted. All summer long it grows, (and if we succeeded, no weeds.) This fall we were able to harvest multiple times. Much of the produce is used within the building. Students are able to try their luck with making salsa out of our garden products. They take the time to learn reading recipes, cutting up produce and creating their final product. It sure disappeared fast this year.


8th Grade Kayaking Trip & Frank’s HillIn the fall, the 8th grade class reads a book, River of Mystery written by local author Dan Bomkamp. They then take a trip to see some of the places that are discussed within the book. A highlight of the trip is an adventure down the Pine River in kayaks. Kayaking is a skill that many students have never learned before.

While the 8th graders are off kayaking, the 6th & 7th graders head to Blackhawk for an afternoon of canoeing and community service. While there, they are taught canoe safety and how to properly handle a canoe. Due to the large number of students, we split up into 2 large groups. While one group canoes, the others do

community service projects for the lake. Students learn that not only is Blackhawk Lake a wonderful resource, but that it takes a lot of work to keep it clean for all the visitors.

Iowa County Conservation DayEach year local 6th grade classes are invited to attend Iowa County Conservation Day outside of Dodgeville. Our 6th graders spend the day outside working with vol-unteers from many different fields of study. This year was a learn-ing experience for all involved. Students were able to learn in a hands on manner about insects, prairie plants, animal furs, food webs, etc.

Ghosts of Highlands PastHighland has a very interesting history and one of our major tasks is mak-ing sure the kids know some of the history behind our town. With the help of countless community members and the Historical Society, we are able to pull off the ghosts of Highland’s past. Many characters from the past make an appearance that day as characters on the street. The students are split into 2 large groups. The first group heads to the Historical Society to learn about artifacts that can be found there. Their task is to write and perform a short play or dialogue on why this piece is important to Highland. The other group of students are able to rotate to different stations around town learning about some of the history of Highland.

Homophones ProjectHave you ever used a homophone incorrectly? Maybe there, or is it their? In IPT this fall students were put into small groups to choose a homophone pair to work with. In the end they wrote a script, created a worksheet, and made a video to watch explaining the difference in their homophone pairs. Some of their costumes and characters were so much fun to see.

Schwan’s SaleEach year the middle school sells Schwan’s as a major fundraiser. It is important to us to have the com-munity support for all the hands on learning that we are able to have our students experience. This year our sale ends on February 1, 2018. Thank you for your contin-ued support!

Wonder“When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind.” Mr. Browne from Wonder by R.J. Palacio.

There is more to school than just learning from books. Right before break our students were able to see the movie Wonder. It is the story of a young man entering 5th grade and public school for the first time. However, he has only been homeschooled because his face looks a little different than “normal”. This movie gave kids a look at how their words and actions can affect other people. If you have not seen it, please do so. Our differences are what make us wonderful!

Ethan’s Shining Light

On behalf of Highland Community Schools,

we are very grateful for Ethan’s Shining

Light and all the work they do to bring Christmas

meals to those less fortunate. We want to thank

the Smith family for all their years of dedication

to a wonderful cause. •

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Holiday spirit filled the air as middle school students planned

and prepared for what has become an annual event at Highland Community School, The Christmas Store. Throughout the year dona-tions of new or gently used items are donated by community members, friends and family. Under the direction of the middle school staff and three student store managers, Cloe Campbell, Mason Welsh, and Amelia Washa, all students participated by eagerly unpacking store items, pricing, creating store flyers, making decorations and signs, scheduling shopping times, designing a floor plan, calling volunteers, all to prepare for the opening of the store.

Monday, December 11th arrived. Excited little shoppers made their way down to the library which had been trans-formed into a shop of wonders. There they were met by middle school students who would act as their own per-sonal helpers. All searched for the perfect gifts for everyone on their lists. Well over 1,000 gifts were purchased and wrapped - a beautiful cardinal sparkly pin for a dad who liked to hunt birds, a Grinch tie for the principal, orna-ments, games, puzzles, candles, and even a cast iron frying pan. Volunteers were wrapped up in a whirlwind of paper, tape, ribbon, and bows. Overall, the store was successful in encouraging the spirit of giving and creating warm holiday memories for everyone involved.

Each year, proceeds from the Christmas Store are donated to two charities voted upon by the middle school students. This year’s selected charities are the Vets Roll trip and St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.

We would like to thank all those who donated items to the store and all those who volunteered their time and talent to make the store a success. Special thanks to Dolly McGuire, Lynn Scullion, Jane Kroll, Sheila Rossmiller, Leah Nankey, Lynette Shemak, Joyce Mueller, Diane Aide, Barb Yanna, Diane Pustina, Patsy Pustina, Marge Pierick, Lynn Munz, Eileen McCarthy, Ashleigh Hrubes. •

A Christmas Carol Workshop & Play The Madison Children’s Theater gave us unique opportunity this past semester. For a minimal fee, they were able to send actors to our school to discuss the main themes behind the play A Christmas Carol. Each grade had a hour long session with the actors to talk, discuss, and try out their acting skills. Then in December, we were able to see those same actors perform live on stage. The effects used in the play were incredible. We even were able to learn some of the trade secrets behind how they happen from the actors after the show.

Family Tree Projects What is my family history and why should I help to preserve it? This was the basic idea behind the driving question of all middle school students this fall. Our independent project boot camp was on family histories and how to create a family tree. Each student has a unique family and choose to set their own trees up to repre-sent that idea. One task of this project was to write and conduct an interview with a family member. The students learned a lot of family stories that they were eager to share in their presentations.

6th Grade Survival DayIn field day, a major component is understanding and respecting our spaces outdoors. One way students are able to do this is through Survival Day. In 6th grade, the students are taught basic outdoors skills. They then get a day to try out their new knowledge at Blackhawk Lake. The sixth graders are split into teams to try and “survive” for the day. Each group has a list of tasks that they need to accom-plish in order to “survive” Their tasks range from building a fire, collect-ing enough firewood, cooking, and building shelters that would protect them from the elements. Lunch is even served cooked in cast iron skil-lets over a fire. This day focuses a lot on teamwork and communica-tion. These skills will be utilized in a Survival Day challenge in 7th and 8th grade.
