CCHS - Students in Jaime Sammons’ Plant Systems class have their greenhouse up and producing. They have been learning, growing, and harvesting some incredible stuff. Last week, students harvested quite a bit of what they had grown, used some of it, and had a salsa-making competition. “It is really something special to see that she [Sammons] is not only teaching her students how to grow their own food but also how to use it,” said Vice Principal Rachel Knight

NUMA - District Attorneys Chelsea Sanford and Lane Mills from the District Attorney’s Office came to Colleen Tutty’s class. The class was sworn in as jurors for the trial of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears.” After hearing evidence from the prosecutor and defense, the students worked in groups to determine the guilt or innocence of Goldilocks. The attorneys helped students understand language and use inferencing skills to try to agree on a verdict.
NELC - Students and their families participated in a “School Day at the Farm” last week. They joined in fun activities, enjoyed lunch, and even got to take a hayride to the pumpkin patch and pick out the perfect pumpkin to take home. “We wanted to do a little something different for our family engagement activity this fall and thought it would be fun to offer our families an opportunity to learn outside,” said Early Childhood and Online Learning Teacher on Special Assignment Amanda Hammer.
LES - Olivia Lefort, Lisa Mills, and Faith Dellera taught their students all about corn. Students learned to examine all the different parts of a corn stalk, learn about how corn grows, and all the uses it has - from food to creating energy. Students also got to have a little fun with the corn and pop some corn on the cob. “We felt like fall was a great time to have a corn and popcorn-themed unit. Not only is corn in season, but October is also National Popcorn Popping Month, so we were really able to have some fun with it,” said Lefort.
E.C. Best - Last week, students in Kari Lister’s class finished their unit on bats and Stellaluna in language arts. They learned about fact and opinion, revisited verbs and what they do, and drew their own bat. They wrapped up the unit by having State Wildlife Biologist Jenni Jeffers come in and talk to the students about different bat species in Nevada.
