The survey will also be available in Spanish. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us here at SFJHS. Thank you in advance for your participation.

Ms. Philips Special Education class is always doing fun and interesting things.  Here’s her report on this week’s learning experiences.

“This week we have been learning about Canada.  Today we made Poutine, a traditional Canadian snack.  It consists of French fries, cheese curds, and gravy.  The students were leery, but willing to try it, and guess what... they loved it!”

Thanks for sharing, Ms. Philips!  Poutine looks interesting.

Mrs. Angela Harman, Spanish Fork Junior High’s extraordinary orchestra teacher, recently published an article entitled “3 Ways to Expand Your Music Students’ Potential.”  It appeared this week in Make Music, Inc.’s music blog for teachers, Smart Music (see link  https://www.smartmusic.com/blog/3-ways-to-expand-your-music-students-potential/ ). 

Teachers at Spanish Fork Junior High know that engagement leads to discovery and learning.  That’s why seventh-grade science teacher Emily Goates gets creative when she teaches her students how elements bond together to form molecules.  Give her a few hundred toothpicks and big bags of multi-colored mini-marshmallows, and her students will know the difference between H2O and CH4 in no time.

“Students were excited to make edible models of molecules today!”  Ms. Goats reported this afternoon.  Then she explained how students make connections.
