Coach Johnson's Body Conditioning class took a "sweet" run to Sip N' for their workout on Thursday. 

The students were able to get a treat if wanted after the jog down the hill.  Adney Reid, Landon Leatherwood and Hezekiah Skaggs enjoy their drinks on the way back to school!

Sideline Football was a new sport introduced in Advanced PE this week.  This looks like it will be a staple at our school in the future. 

Four-4 square and Spike-ball were both very competitive this week as well!

Curiosity, billiard balls and a giant rope were the needed ingredients to teach Newton's third law this week in 7th grade science. The kids divined that "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" as each billiard ball hit against one another in the giant Newton's Cradle that one of the teachers at SFJH built. After a fun introduction, a challenge was issued. Three classes fought on the grass for bragging rights in classic battle-royale’ fashion to see which class would exert the most force using their mass and acceleration!

When Urban works with Vincent, they dig 1 hole in 2 days. When Timothy works alone, how long does it take him to dig 1 hole?

On October 1, the SFJH Student Council put on a Four Square tournament after school for their first after school activity for the year.

Many students came out to have fun and played to win candy, a certificate, and bragging rights as the best Four Square player of the school. There were kids with some serious skills! The students played hard and had lots of fun, and it was a great time to meet new people and make new friends.

This week, Ms. Knecht's English 7 classes explored the question, "What makes me, me?"

They brought three objects to represent different parts of their identity. For example, one student brought a fishing pole to show his love of fishing.  It also reminds him of the closeness he feels for his grandpa.

Another student brought pictures of her nieces and nephews to show how being an aunt was a big part of her identity.

Miriam Teodosio presents ideas on a whiteboard while Writers’ Group members explore the merits of each. Conversations escalate into intense debates, sparking new and better ideas, as they engage more deeply in the pre-writing process. Their goal?  They plan to write a story. Together. Through weekly planning sessions, students are discovering how to design the story to accommodate many writers, working out the overarching conflict that will draw each character—and each writer—into the main storyline.
