CHURCHILL COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL
Billy Thompson’s Modern Entrepreneur class worked with Aaron Holt’s Game Development students for a hands-on learning experience.
Thompson’s students acted as a marketing consultation team, providing instruction and working one-on-one with the game development team to refine their branding and marketing strategies.
“They delivered instruction, and broke out with each team to look at their branding and marketing strategy, then gave them feedback and offered suggestions,” Holt said.
This collaboration between the two classes gave students real industry experience, bringing together the world of business and game design.
“I try to help my students feel like they are really immersed in the industry, and this was a great opportunity for both classes to get that,” Holt said.
CHURCHILL COUNTY MIDDLE SCHOOL
After a long week of studying hygiene and health habits in Kamila Horn’s classroom, eighth-grade students were caught by Principal Victor Schoenfeldt taking a well-deserved break.
They were enjoying some downtime amidst the crazy, changing weather.
“I felt like their hard work and commitment deserved some recognition,” Schoenfeldt said.
NUMA
Numa’s annual March Madness Tournament is officially underway. With the support of dedicated volunteers from the afterschool program, over 30 teams of fourth- and fifth-graders are competing for victory. Students will compete to win in their brackets and then the ultimate challenge will be to beat the undefeated staff team in what is always an epic game.
Physical Education teacher Kevin Wickware organizes the tournament every year and says he is always excited for it.
“The fun, teamwork, and sportsmanship the tournament brings is the best. Let the madness begin, he said.”
E.C. BEST
E.C. Best students had a blast in Emma Knapp’s physical education class last week. Students worked together with the parachute to improve teamwork and coordination.
“This activity is fun and also encouraged collaboration and laughter as the students developed both their physical skills and social connections,” Knapp said.
LAHONTAN
Principal Kimi Melendy has visited each classroom monthly to discuss Social-Emotional Learning. This month, she is reviewing the Zones of Regulation with each class.
She is using a large Jenga game with colored dots that correspond with each zone: Blue = Sad, Green = Happy, Red = Mad, and Yellow = Anxious. When the students choose a Jenga piece, they have to say what zone the color dot matches and a time that they felt that emotion.
NORTHSIDE EARLY LEARNING CENTER
Last week at Northside, students in Octavia Merritt’s and Montana Koplin’s class spent the week learning and reading books for Read Across America.
Merritt and Montana’s class finished off the week dressed as some great Dr. Seuss characters. They spent the week, reading, having parents volunteer to read as well as enjoying delicious treats for each themed day.
Monday was crazy sock day, Tuesday was crazy hair day and Wednesday was wacky Wednesday. “It was such a fun week of dress-up days and learning for our students,” Merritt said.
