Attention Franklin Preschool and Birth to 3 families!

This past Thursday was the first Learning Walk of the year. During Learning Walks, some of our staff and administration take tours throughout our different schools and are guided by students. While there, they get to visit various rooms to discover how students are learning and leading. Pictured are the learning walk guides from Williams Elementary. They did a wonderful job!

Kinnaman's First Grade class at Williams Elementary, they read, "The Giant Jam Sandwich", in which a town gets invaded by wasps and community members must work together to create a trap. Afterwards, students collaborated with their peers to create and name their own wasp traps! The entire class synergized and some amazing ideas came to life!

Briggs Whitley, 8Blue student at MMS, represented MMS at the IESA Boys Sectional F Golf Event on Thursday, September 8th at the Eagle Ridge Golf Club in Paris, IL.
Leading up to the event, Briggs worked with his father, Chris Whitley (who also served as a volunteer observer at the IESA event) to find his swing. He went into play on Thursday confident, and he finished in the middle of the pack, 33rd out of 58 golfers. Briggs was coached for the day by a former MHS Golf Coach and RES Staff member, Jordan Coleman.
We appreciate Briggs representing Mattoon Middle School as our sole participant this year, and we look forward to following his golf career as he moves on to MHS next year!

On Wednesday (9/7), Ms. Wishard and Mrs. Reynolds 6th grade self-contained, and Mrs. Skees with the DHH program came together to do an egg drop with their students!
The students in these science classes have been working on learning about the scientific method and took a hands-on approach to test out their experiments. Each student designed their own contraption in hopes their egg would not break when dropped from certain heights.
In order to make it interesting, the classes decided to invite the local fire department to bring their ladder truck to drop the eggs. The crew that came from Mattoon Fire Department even joined in on the fun and designed their own contraptions to compete with our students.
The eggs were dropped from different heights, all the way up to 100 ft. off the ladder! The students really enjoyed the experiment, and even Mr. Pugh got to join in on the fun! One fireman and two students' eggs survived the 100 ft. drop.
