On our Monday work days our EMS teachers are given an opportunity to teach one another by sharing instructional strategies and information gained from conferences they have attended individually. Engaging every student today to prepare them for a successful future tomorrow is our EMS mission statement and staying up to date on the most recent research and instructional strategies is a way to make this mission statement a reality.
While the 7th graders were at their field trip the 8th graders had STEM day. Students learned about the problem solving process, collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity while attempting different tasks in each rotation. The rotations included building towers, constructing bridges, designing a parachute and completing a zip line challenge. There are more photos in the STEM Day 2023 album on Facebook.
Last week the 7th graders wrapped up a unit on personal finance by attending a simulation at J.A. Finance Park in Chesterfield. While in the simulation, students were assigned identities and provided with financial obligations like student loan debt and families. Students then worked to build a budget to meet their family's needs and goals and tested those budgets by trying to shop within their bounds.
There is only one thing that can replace a book: the next book. Go check out these new books at the EHS library.
