February 17: President's Day No School

This Month's spotlight is on Mia Amen! Mia has just started attending MJH in the past few weeks, but is already working hard in class, meeting expectations, and pushing through adversity like a champ! Way to hit the ground running, Mia!

6th grade has begun an inquiry looking into the different causes of the Bronze Age Collapse, and we will soon learn about the Phoenicians and the origins of our alphabet!

7th graders are ending their look into the spreading of ideas in Ancient China by making their own infographic posters, then will begin learning about Korea and Japan!

8th graders have finished their research into attitudes towards immigration in American history, and now are working to make their own opinion on how the US views immigration as a whole!

6th Grade Science are experimenting with Particle Motion in different temperatures of liquids to determine if water particles are moving and if they are moving differently in different liquids.

I would like to shout out a few students who recently promoted grades and are working especially hard to complete a full year's worth of math in a single semester - Aron and Horaciojose. Keep up the good work, guys, and don't give up! For other students who recently promoted grades, make sure you talk to Mr. Bruns to ask about recovering a math credit and STICK WITH IT.

In English class, most students had a great start to their semester by asking questions and working well with others. We have welcomed a big group of new students this semester. Welcome to Arturo, Aubree, Citlali, Jordan, Luis, Mia, RyKer, Samuel, Serenity, and Trinity. I look forward to seeing what Minidoka Junior High students will accomplish together this semester.

Students worth CELEBRATING this month are: Aubree for completing work and asking questions when she is unsure what to do, Trinity for asking good questions and fixing work to improve her grade, and Luis for being extra responsible and completing all English classwork from the first two weeks on his first day.

All students are expected to keep current with their work to be most successful. This semester students will be able to fix English class work for an improved grade ONLY if it was turned in when it was due. Work turned in late will earn, at most, half credit. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

We are excited to ​s​hare the new Minidoka Schools App. You can download the app by visiting your mobile device's app store. The app is a quick, easy way to access information about our schools. Watch this short video tutorial with a quick overview of the app.
