The 7th grade math students at MJH are reviewing key skills and concepts from the year to show what they know before moving on to 8th grade. Students competed with each other in a showdown of probability practice starting with a minute to work each problem individually before working as a team to determine the correct answer. As the groups work through the game, the teacher highlighted important academic vocabulary and possible approaches to solving the problems. MJH Teachers of the Third Quarter Right before Spring Break, students were given the chance to nominate a teacher at MJH who has made a positive impact on their lives. When the final nominations were tallied, Mrs. Coldwell, Mrs. Adami, Mrs. Betts, and Mrs. Skinner were our students’ choice for the MJH Teacher of the Quarter Award! New Surfaces for Math Practice Engaging Students The MJH Math Department has been focused on research-based instructional practices to improve the depth and retention of key grade-level concepts. One practice is using Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces (VNPS) to get kids up and interacting with the content and each other. Based on Liljedahl’s book, Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics , using various types of VNPSs helps students have less fear of taking risks because mistakes are easily erased. The strategy also gives teachers better access to watch students’ thinking and processing, which increases opportunities for feedback. Students can be seen using the whiteboards inside and outside the classroom daily at MJH! MJH Cheer Wins Big at Historic First Competition MJH Cheer competed for the first time in school history at the Stockton Cheer Competition. The team, led by Payton Beaver and Maelani Sims, won Best Spirit for the entire competition and placed 2nd in the dance category. MJH Cheerleaders attend sporting and community events throughout the year. Students Get Real World Experience during EPIC Event Magnolia Junior High 8th-grade students in the College and Career Readiness class participated in an EPIC event. The course seeks to help students identify and establish goals for themselves and then develop a plan of action to achieve those goals as citizens of our community, state, and nation in the 21st century. As a culminating project for the course, students filled out a job application and prepared to interview with a member of the Magnolia community. Interviews were conducted by community members, school board representatives, district employees, and MJH staff members. The EPIC event offered MJH students a real world experience preparing them for the future. more news headlines Upcoming Events Tue May 14 Theatre Arts Spring Play @ MJH Stage 6 : 00 PM - 7 : 30 PM Read More about Theatre Arts Spring Play @ MJH Stage Wed May 15 Choir Pop-Show 6 : 30 PM - 7 : 30 PM Read More about Choir Pop-Show Fri May 17 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony all day Read More about 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony Mon May 20 NJHS Induction Ceremony 6 : 00 PM - 7 : 00 PM Read More about NJHS Induction Ceremony Fri May 24 Last Day of School / Early Release all day Read More about Last Day of School / Early Release Magnolia...
