6th grade ELA had a blast with a St. Patrick’s Day themed breakout! It was challenging, w/a lot of red herrings, but all groups were able to breakout in time. Thanks 𝑲𝒂𝒓𝒂 𝑴𝒄𝑭𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒊𝒏 💻📱 for helping set up the Breakout EDU boxes. My students loved it! Jerling Junior High Orland District 135


6th grade Honors ELA Jerling Junior High presented Passion Projects where they blended novels w/their passions. They were creative and amazing. ❤️ Trading cards, dance, recycling, laser printing, music, & more! Ss connected their passions to characters, plot, themes, mood, etc!


Thanks for letting Jerling Junior High 6th grade ELA classes explore the our new Makerspace Mrs. Poniatowski! It was perfect for a snowy day before spring break!


JJH NJHS kicked off spring break by volunteering at Bridge Teen Center. We sorted 142 bags of donations for their thrift shop which will help support 7 local students. Way to go NJHS! Jerling Junior High OSD 135 NJHS Rebecca Kreger Dana Halper Daniel Prorok

Such a fun year w/6th grade Jerling Junior High! My pm ELA student’s final project was to teach the class a skill! This cheer presentation on the Double Toe Touch was a hit & perfect for getting their energy out!
