#VanguardPride Personal Finance students geared up for Black Friday Shopping by calculating discounts. They had to search for items in the room and find the price tag. Then they would find the sale price of the items when given an original price and a percent discount. They found great deals on graphing calculators, curtains, laptops, books, and furniture!
Mrs. McCartney's students learned about adding 2-digit numbers and used popsicle sticks to help combine the numbers in the tens and ones place.
The students were given a handful of sticks and they had to bundle them into groups of tens and then hundreds to help add and figure out how many the whole class had.
Impressive!

Whew! These turkeys will be safe with their spectacular disguises!
Thanks #VanguardPride 4K for helping these turkeys!

Baking & Pastry recently went on a field trip to Madison College and had a tour of their culinary & baking facilities.
#VanguardPride students were served a 3-course meal made by Madison College students. We practiced our fine dining etiquette and got to try some new foods.
The student's are sure happy for the snow this week!

Look at this beautiful turkey the #VanguardPride 4Ker's made!
#VanguardPride - GAME TIME CHANGE!
Mrs. Meinholz's #VanguardPride Personal Finance students are learning about what a credit score is and how to build a great credit score. As a part of the unit, they played a board game where as they landed on different squares, they had to track how their credit score would change. Sometimes they lost points for missing their student loan payments or maxing credit lines or earned points for paying off their credit card balance in full or making mortgage payments on time. These are definitely some great skills to learn!
Students in Mrs. Johnson's 6th grade Science class have been learning about cells and bacteria. They were able to compare the bacteria in yogurt, Yoplait plain yogurt and Greek yogurt. Students were able to see the active bacteria in each sample under the microscope. What a wonderful #VanguardPride lab experience for the students!
