Grade 4 students visit The Orchard! Creativity in the outdoor kitchen was a wonderful way to demonstrate our understanding of fractions. This self directed learning opportunity allowed students to "bake" snow dishes while discussing and identifying proper fractions.

Grade 6 is beginning a math unit on the coordinate plane. Students began the unit by playing with manipulatives called XY coordinate geoboards. Students learned how to plot points, where the origin (0,0)is located, and how to create geometrical shapes. Studying the 4 quadrants reinforces our integer work and lays a foundation for algebraic concepts.

Mrs. Cullins' psychology class really hit it out of the park with brochures they created explaining differnt types of thinking and brain development. It's exciting when our students exceed even our highest expectations!
Everyone has a story to tell. On March 14th, 8th graders in Mrs. DeTour's ELA class celebrated National “Write Your Story Day.” This project middle school gave students the opportunity to celebrate their individuality and document the people and events that are most important to them.

And finally, the classes.....the sophomores seemed to be among the missing during group photos--maybe someone can find them in their "candyland" theme hidden among the lollipop trees. In any case, each group worked as a team, spent time team-building, and had fun with staff as well as each other---thank you to all who made last week a success for students! KMHS Rocks!

Though Cougarfest took place last week, it's worth seeing the focus and smiles from the different activities and events that spanned after school and on Friday. A huge shout out to Mrs. Cullins and the KHS Student council for putting this community-building event together and another successful Cougarfest in the books!
