With the help of our friends from Sesame Street, Mrs. Hansen's preschool class spent the week learning about fire safety. We learned how to "Stop, Drop, Cover, and Roll" when our clothes catch fire and how to "Stay Low and Go!" when we hear the beeping of a smoke alarm. We also had a visit from the Julesburg Volunteer Fire Department. Thank you to Steven and Dakota for taking the time to share their work with our students.
A special Thank you goes out to Julesburg FFA teacher Mr. Koberstein for taking the time to introduce the 5th grade students to Hank and Larry. Students were able to ask questions and get acquainted with them. Students learned that Llamas are larger animals commonly raised for their wool, meat, and as pack animals.
Babydoll sheep, a small breed with a calm temperament, are primarily raised for their wool, which is fine and soft. They are excellent for small farms, offering high-quality fleece, grazing to control weeds, and companionship.
Pre-K had an exciting visit from the Julesburg Fire Department! They got to feel the weight of a firefighters jacket. Thank you for taking the time to educate and inspire our youngest learners.
Geometry students are working on Two Column Proofs!! Using the whiteboard is a great way for students to get hands-on experience laying out the steps of a geometric proof. They can work through the given information, statements, and reasons to logically arrive at the conclusion.
🌟 At FFA’s Lunch with JH, Levi delivered an inspiring presentation on Range Judging! He explained the contest and really got our younger students excited about the competition. Great to see such enthusiasm for agriculture! #FFA #RangeJudging #FutureFarmers

6th Grade Mathematicians Wrap Up Their Unit with a Creative Tent Design Project! 🏕️
Our 6th graders put their knowledge of surface area and volume to the test by designing their very own tents! 🎨📏 After weeks of learning how to calculate the surface area and volume of various 3D shapes, students applied these skills to a fun, hands-on project.
From choosing the dimensions to sketching out the structure, they did an amazing job turning math into real-world applications. We are so proud of their creativity and hard work! Great job, future architects and engineers! 👏💡 #STEMlearning #MathInAction #6thGradeProjects #CreativeLearning
1st grade students practiced subtracting on a number line. They rolled the dice to see what numbers to subtract from each other and then used the number line to find their answer.
