Vocabulary IS  a Laughing Matter

Mrs. Thompson’s English classes previewed vocabulary words for their upcoming class novel, The Outsiders, with a game of Apples to Apples. While some gave incredulous groans as  their teacher chose “the best” card, others found it unfathomable that exploring vocabulary could be so fun! Students also learned an alternative definition for the word “biting” as well as the correct pronunciation of the word “ornery.”  Stay Gold, mighty Lobos!

Marching Band Rehearsal! With Lobos and with Past Lobos! We are working hard to prepare for halftime at this football game this Friday! And for all our shows coming up!  

This month we recognized some teachers for being Lobo Life Savers. 

Robin White and Shane Hansen are being recognized for being our Lobo Life Saver's for helping with the remodel of the front office. They have spent countless hours this summer painting and decorating. We are so grateful for the time and dedication they have given to Spanish Fork Jr High. 

Relaxation day has become a favorite of students in Coach Johnson's Body Conditioning classes.  It allows students to unwind and release some of the stress that they have built up.  The students love to be able to follow the short guided relaxation audio while they enjoy a peaceful quiet atmosphere.

The freshmen in Mr. Lawrence's classes spent part of the week doing their i-Ready Reading Diagnostic. This valuable data helps us know students' vocabulary level, among other things. We also read the classic short story "The Most Dangerous Game." 

These young people were selected as our "Lobo Heros" for the month of August.

They are: 

• Maya Rose
• Liv Brown
• Jesus Martinez Anaya
• EJ Lloyd

Ms. Nielsen’s Novels and Literature class, as well as all of her 9th grade ELA classes have been busy this week setting reading goals for themselves, creating a reading folder where they track the books they finish, and completing a reader survey where they introduced themselves as readers to Ms. Nielsen. 

Let the reading journey begin!
