Eagles Update!
Many times our love for our community shows through our support for our school. We love Eagle Grove and this year we have a great vibe at the HS! Our students have rallied around each other and we have seen bigger crowds in the stands and bigger smiles in the halls. As a community we should be very proud.
Our football team got their first victory of the season and they deserve it, they work hard every day and it is time for a pay day. We are all so proud of them!
Our boys XC team is making an appearance at the State Meet this Saturday in Ft. Dodge, they will be running at 1:30 PM! These guys are a true definition of a team.. they work hard to be the best they can and they give it all they have! We wish them good luck and are so proud of them as well!
We are gearing up for the musical on the weekend of Nov. 14th. They put in many late nights and will be glad to see so many shining faces in the audience!
Gage Behnkendorf made the all-state band and will be performing in November! A huge accomplishment for Gage and what a great way to showcase his musical talents!
We are proud of all our fall athletes and their commitment to our school. Volleyball and girls xc worked hard this season, making huge improvements and contributions to their programs.
We are moving from our fall season into our winter one and we hope for continued support from our community and our students!
Go Eagles! :)

2015 EGHS Conferences
Last night we had our first of two days of high school conferences. We always look forward to talking with parents, but it seems like we get very few. Of course we would always like more, especially for me, not being a native of Eagle Grove I don't know a lot of my students parents unless we meet face to face at conferences or ball games. The weather did not help matters much and as they say in like a lamb out like a lion :)
But I would say for me this was one of the best conference nights we have had in awhile, meet 3 of our freshman boys (there were a few more but these guys stuck out the entire night!)
Most teenagers can find something better to do on Tuesday night for 4 hours than hang out with a bunch of teachers in a gym but I am glad these three didn't, on a night that can be a little bland they brought some laughs to EGHS conferences!
Often times as teachers I think we forget the impact we can make every day, but these 3 prove the impact we often make is not on their knowledge of Earth history but that we care about them, that we are here to support them and they in return will make us laugh and make us proud :)

Eagle Speech/Haugland Classroom Update
Science and health are in full swing for the second semester. We are studying earth science as part of our general science curriculum, which allows us to studying interesting topics such as the planets, stars, formation of the universe before we get into the meat of earth science. One of my favorites is the planet alien project where students develop realistic planets and aliens that could survive the conditions of the planet. It is a great lead into how our characteristics as humans perfectly align with the conditions of planet earth. (gives them a new appreciation you could say)
I also am teaching a full semester course of earth science. This year we started with natural disasters including earthquakes and volcanoes. Students created earthquake proof structures that we tested with a shake board. They all survived although some were leaning pretty far! They would all make wonderful engineers! We have moved into how we affect our planet and its systems. Students are creating PSA's, hopefully, I will be able to post soon. Students will also be implementing their solution into our community so I am excited to see how that goes!
Enjoy your Tuesday!
