#VanguardPride 4th graders celebrated the end of the Holes novel study and designed shoes to represent a character from the book. They used symbols and colors to show their knowledge of the characters' personalities. Stanley, Zero, Kate Barlow, and The Warden all have some new footwear. Can you match the shoe to the character? 👟👞👡

On Thursday afternoon, #VanguardPride high school students toured ETC in Mazomanie to learn about employment opportunities at this global leading company. Along with fantastic career opportunities, they learned there are many terrific summer jobs for students age 16 and up!

Mrs. Johnson’s 6th grade Science classes continued learning about fungi. Students were able to examine Baby Bella and Shiitake mushrooms. The classes worked in small groups and used magnifying glasses to identify and locate the parts of the mushrooms: stem, cap, spores, gills, and hyphae. Students were then able to compare the similarities and differences between the two types of mushrooms. #VanguardPride 6th graders continue to discover the wonderful world of Life Science!

6th graders in Mrs. Johnson’s Science class are conducting a lab on the effect water plays on creating fungus (mold) on bread. Students prepared bread samples using hot/cold water, white/ wheat bread, and storing it in a light/dark place. Students made predictions and will check their samples in one week and record and discuss their findings. #VanguardPride students are doing a fabulous job making a hypothesis, monitoring their sample, and recording the data!

#TBT to the #VanguardPride class of 2003! 20 years this year!

7th Graders in Mrs. Schmitt's language arts classes have been gathering evidence to support their claim to prepare for debates. Topics being discussed include: Should college athletes get paid? Is social media good for society? Should there be a junk food tax? Should the school day begin later? Should citizens be required to vote in elections? Our #VanguardPride students are learning very valuable lessons!

The #VanguardPride 6th and 7th grades held an auction in math class. Mrs. Meinholz gave them a catalog of word problems involving percents with answers, some of which were the wrong answers. In teams, students had 10 minutes to look over the problems, solve them, and determine which problems had the correct answers with them. Mrs. Meinholz gave each team $1,000 💲 (fake money, of course), and then put the problems up for auction. The goal was to buy as many problems with correct solutions listed as possible and get the best bang for your buck! It definitely got a little wild and crazy as students kept raising their paddles to outbid each other, and a few were so excited, they would accidentally raise their paddles when they didn't mean to. 😁 The students really connected to this lesson - most of them had been to an auction and had a story to share about attending an auction through 4H, or with their parents or grandparents. Super fun!!!
