Quality Outcomes: Real-World Connections
In our district, we help students connect what they learn in the classroom with how it applies in the real world. The benefit: Our students gain a deeper understanding of concepts, more insight into career possibilities, and a richer understanding of their ability to take ownership of the future.
It is one of the many ways we are preparing our students to pursue the career paths of their choice. Discover more in our 2016-17 Quality Profile!

Charles Huber students are stuck on reading
Last month, Charles Huber students were given a reading challenge as part of Read Across America. For every 100 minutes read at home, students and staff received a piece of tape. The Charles Huber community read more than 60,000 minutes! On March 16, they got to tape music teacher Mr. Hesselbart and student Bridget Burke (who read 800 minutes on her own) to the wall! Way to go!

Visit from the Wizard teaches importance about sunscreen
Recent weather aside, summer is on the way -- along with increased danger from ultraviolet (UV) rays. But Monticello's second graders will be ready thanks to a recent visit from Jason the Wizard from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Jason presented a lesson on the impact and dangers of UV rays and the need for sunscreen. The students also made bracelets using a special UV light that caused the beads to change color, representing the need for sunscreen. What a great real-world science lesson that will benefit students for the rest of their lives!

Students transform cubes into robots
Jason the Wizard also taught second graders how to create robots from a set of Cubelets, which are magnetic blocks that can be snapped together to create robots. The robots were so amazing; they even moved! The students enjoyed manipulating the cubes into different patterns and shapes while learning about logical thinking, patterns, and sequencing.

Valley Forge fifth graders team up with first graders to teach peer mediation
The students in Mrs. Ignet's fifth grade and Mrs. Back's first grade classes have teamed up to learn about peer mediation and dealing with their feelings appropriately. The first graders have been journaling about a variety of topics that they share with the fifth graders, who help them determine what emotions they are experiencing and how to deal with anything negative. Eventually, the fifth graders will begin to help their first grade buddies with conflict resolution. The goal is for these students to assist with developing a building-wide peer mediation program.

SOAR students win grant for 3D printers
Sixth-grade SOAR students have been busy exploring the use of their two new 3D printers that were purchased with a grant from the Air Force Association. Students have moved from passive consumers to active creators by learning how to use 3D software and take their designs to the next level. Using 3D printers in the classroom in conjunction with the Engineering Design Process has enabled students to problem solve, conceptualize, and visualize designs through the stages of development, from sketch to final product.

Students mummify chickens in study on ancient civilizations
Sixth grade students recently studied the art and ritual of mummification by mummifying chickens! The hands-on lesson was part of their study of ancient civilizations in the Middle East. While the ancient Egyptian process took about 70 days, students mummified their chickens in approximately 45 days. They had to clean the chickens, dry them, and then clean them again with alcohol. They then covered the chickens with a mixture of baking soda and salt to dry out the body. They have to repeat this process every 10 days, during which they have taken note of how the skin has changed and the chicken bodies have flattened. Some mummy chickens even look slightly deformed as they shrink!
