September 2015

Ms. Chaleesa Warren, one of our new College and Career Awareness teachers, has been busy turning her seventh-graders into food scientists.  And what better way to experiment than with ice cream!

“We have been talking about careers in food science,” explained Ms. Warren.  “In class, students got to be food scientists and create their own ice cream creation.”

This past week, students in Ms. Warren’s 8th grade Animal Science class were able to get an up close look at how circulatory systems work thanks to a student’s good aim during deer hunt.

Animal Science student Lance Shepherd brought in a deer heart from his successful hunt.  “We talked about the circulatory system first and how the heart works.  As a class we cut open the heart and looked at the different chambers and students were able to visualize what we had talked about,” explained Ms. Warren.

Ostrich Llama Count (from last week)

33 Ostriches and 14 Llamas 

Last Friday, the Lobo Cross Country team ran their hearts out and it sure paid off. The boys took 1st place by a landslide and the girls took 2nd place. They missed taking 1st by four points. Our Lobos sure know how to run like the wind.

Congratulations to the top five boy and girl finishers who helped make our Lobo victory possible!

Ostrich Llama Count

 Raul and Esteban just started working at their uncle’s farm on the weekends. Their first task was to count the ostriches and llamas. When they reported to their uncle,

Raul said, “I counted 47 heads.”

Esteban added, “I counted 122 legs.”

“How many are ostriches? How many are llamas?” asked their uncle.
