This year I have started Career RTI! This week and next we are doing Electrical, so students sign up to get in and they have been working through exercises to wire outlets, lights, and light switches! They are loving it and so am I! Life skills and possible careers!

8 more students got certified in CPR today! My health science kids have been so attentive to learning how to save lives! Thankful for Nurse Wendy and Nurse Kristen for teaching them!

One of my favorite parts of Friday…..Reading Buddies Day! The relationships these kids build with each other is amazing. The littles are asking all week how many more days till reading buddies🥰

7th/8th Architecture and Design students made Spooky Houses! Students had 8 days to design, build, and decorate.

Reading buddies looked different today. PreK was learning about Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle this week, so buddies worked together to build something out of stuff! We love our time together!

Enjoyed working with Ms. Thomas on Friday with PreK! Students colored a dinosaur then I scanned them into our KidsJumpTech Interactive Wall and they came to life! Will have to get a video next time.

November Elite Day Reading Buddies. Reading, trail mix making and turkey traps made for exciting times in various grade level pairings! Love this time where we get middle and elementary together😍

When you are exposing 7th/8th grade to Welding and you find a gingerbread house activity that students can practice a weld with the icing…..you totally do it!

Another successful year of Reindeer Games! This years games were created by my Engineering Elective Class! Love seeing them design and build, then improve games as they were played. Watching our 7th/8th graders interact with the younger students is one of my favorite things!!

What happens when you decide to collaborate with the high school Welding teacher…..excited students at both levels. Buddy welding a picture frame to expose the 7/8th graders to a possible career opportunity. #futurepioneers

My 6th grade enjoyed Mrs. Collette from Crockett teaching us a lesson on agriculture. She showed us how much land is useful for food production, first with an apple then we recreated it with play dough. Excited to help exposure our students to AG in middle school!

Fun with the late bus kids in bus hall this afternoon!

When it’s your late bus duty day and gorgeous outside, you take the bus kids to the playground and wait😎

Our 7th/8th grade enjoyed a visit from ETSU Kinesiology and Sports Science today during our elective time. They heard about pursuing different career paths and being a student athlete at the college level.

Exposing our 6th graders to Manufacturing. Students were in two groups: Assembly line or independent contractors. Ss had 25 minutes to build a paper truck. Color, cut, fold, glue, assemble. Students experienced work environments, some wanted to quit or retire😂. Great lesson!

Mr. Story’s Eagle Assistants and my student broadcasting Ss had Kasey Marler as a guest speaker today. Kasey talked about his career in sports broadcasting and being a news anchor at WJHL. We loved having him back at Grandview School.

Enjoyed working with Mrs. Casey’s 3rd graders today. We did a coding lesson with Indi cars where they had to figure out what each color meant then create an algorithm for Indi to follow!

Our Grandview School 7th/8th graders enjoyed participating and watching the HammerBuild today. We are thankful for Mr. Good and his students who came and helped us build the shed. Also thanks to Jared Burgner who kept the crowd of watchers invested.

Today, Mr. Lewis from Crockett visited to talk about his classes and work alongside some of our 7th/8th grade students in CTE who are presently working on electrical panels in class. They also demonstrated the panel for a 6th grade classes. #pioneerseducatingeagles
