Have a happy and safe Halloween this weekend!

Parents, Students and Friends –

 Halloween Costumes

Are you interested in learning how apps or electronic games work?  Or how websites or software programs operate? If you are interested in learning the language of computers (computer coding), starting in November Nebo School District is offering after-school classes for students in grades 4-9 in various locations throughout the district.  Please click this link for further information or to register for coding camps.  

Nebo’s own Spanish Fork Junior High’s orchestra teacher, Angela Harman, was recognized by the “Teaching Music” magazine in the October 2015 issue.  

Chad Criswell writes, “Almost every music education classroom can be enhanced in some way through the use of technology.” He goes on to spotlight Angela’s innovation with technology from iPads and apps to GarageBand software.

Today, seventh graders in Mrs. Nielsen’s second pod were excited. In fact, excited might not even be the right word—let’s use ecstatic!

Yesterday, pod 2, the smallest of Mrs. Nielsen’s classes , inched past pod 3 on the 100 Book Chart. They were really jazzed over this accomplishment because pod 3 is the biggest class with 31 students. “We’ve been behind them all term,” commented one student. “Now we only have two books until we reach 100!”

Here’s the latest in from Mrs. Shae Harmer’s seventh-grade Utah Studies classes:

“On October 22, we had the opportunity to go to “This Is the Place” historical monument as a 7th grade social studies class.  We learned things about the work blacksmiths did.  We visited a Native Americans village and learned how mountain men survived in the wilderness.

After reading The View From Saturday by E. L. Konigsburg, Spanish Fork Jr. High School 7th Grade Honors English students have the opportunity to take the “Julian Challenge” and make a difference. Here are some of the experiences they shared:

Mummy Party

Five mummies are getting ready for a party. They each need a different amount of fabric to use as their costume. Mummy 1 needs 10 yards less than Mummy 2. Mummy 2 need twice as much as Mummy 3. Mummy 3 needs 6 more yards than Mummy 4. Mummy 4 needs half as much fabric as mummy 5. Mummy 5 needs 20 yards.

Here’s a report just in from Ms. Warren and her SFJH FFA class:

“Today, we had a state officer visit my 8th and 9th grade FFA classes.  His name is Wyatt McDaniels; he is the Utah FFA Sentinel this year.” 

“He talked with students about opportunities in FFA.  Students also played leadership games while learning more about our State Association.”

Thanks Ms. Warren for keeping us updated on what’s happening in our Future Farmers.
