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! 

The Eagle speech team has been hard at work this season, hard to believe we start our final competition series on Saturday Feb. 28th. We will be traveling to Clear Lake for district individual contest. We are currently sending 19 students in 27 events, plain and simple it is a great time to be an Eagle. At our state large group competition in Decorah, we had two teams receive overall one ratings with our short film and ensemble acting teams. We are looking for growth as the seasons continue and the hard work the students put in is paying off. That combined with the success of our winter sports teams has made for an enjoyable winter season.

Enjoy your Tuesday!

New Furniture in the Media Center

Come in and check out the new furniture in the media center. No, don't come in to borrow it, but have a seat with a few friends and hang out in the media center at the cafe table or in the stylish chrome and black chairs. Remember, the media center is available before school and students are also welcome to come during study hall, with teacher's permission.

Thank you to all the students who picked corn to help earn the dollars used to purchase the furniture and the charger stations for the media center!!
