K'Nex

Students from Cambria and Jackson Elementary teamed up to attend the K’Nex STEM Challenge Competition this past Thursday. Eight students made up two teams who then competed against other schools in the surrounding counties. Their challenge was to build, using only K’Nex pieces, a structure that was at least three feet tall and could hold weight. The teams were given two hours to build their structure and then present it to the judges. In addition to building the structure, the teams also had to prepare a journal, a narrative report, and create blueprints of their structure. Our teams did not place, but did an outstanding job! Cambria and Jackson Elementary students and staff are very proud of the job they did!

Law/Current Events Classes Conclude Miranda Week

On Thursday, February 25^th the Law/Current Events class concluded Miranda Week (one part of our current unit on the criminal investigation process) by utilizing one of our greatest resources. Officer Nathan Stohon came into our classroom and gave the students a glimpse of reality should they travel down the wrong path at some point in their lives. The arrest is obviously a vital component of the investigation process and while the students did have a pleasant time “being arrested”, our hope was to try and ensure that students understood the overall process, and hopefully, as well, never find themselves in handcuffs again. Officer Stohon’s expertise proved invaluable as I was able to hand the class over to him at certain points and allow him to convey the information on a different level than just teacher to student. I look forward to hopefully bringing Officer Stohon back in to my classroom in the near future to help put a real world spin on some of the things we are going to be talking about.
