8th grade Agriculture class learned about the skeleton features of a dog. They worked in groups to create models and labeled the parts.

More healthy competition in science with Mr. Conley and Mrs. Eddy

My class helped me design and set up the aquarium for our new pet. Stan is a Map Turtle and likes minnows and pellet food. He can swim for hours. We learned a lot about their natural habitat, and what to feed them.

📚✨ Marvelous Monday in Mrs. Spradlin’s Class! ✨📚 Today was full of learning and laughter! In math, we dove into more guided notes and sharpened our skills with some Khan Academy practice 💻✏️ — exploring the world of decimals, fractions, and percents! 🧠➗💯 Then in Language Arts, we kicked off our novel study of Wonder by R.J. Palacio — and what a hit! 🎧📖 We followed along in our own copies while listening to the audiobook on YouTube. The kids couldn’t stop laughing at the book’s funniest moments — and neither could I! 😂💙 There’s truly nothing better than seeing students fall in love with reading. Watching them connect, laugh, and engage with a great story makes my teacher heart so happy! 🥰📚💫

Today, Mrs. Staniford’s ELA classes engaged in an in-depth analysis of song lyrics to identify various forms of figurative language. Students collaborated to highlight and examine how these literary devices enhance meaning, evoke emotion, and create vivid imagery within the text. Keep up the good work, Eagles! 🦅 📝 #JCMSStrong #Eagle4Life

To build reading stamina, Mrs. Preston's 8th Grade ELA students kicked off the school year with independent novels. These students visited the library to choose their books and they're practicing Sustained Silent Reading several times per week. There is nothing better than diving into a good book! 📖

Mrs. Caudills Career Choices/Life Skills classes enjoyed having a virtual guest speaker through Discovery Education's Career Connect! We learned about moving countries for a career and how changing careers can be a fun new experience! We now know interesting information about the hospitality industry and the banking industry!

The 8th Grade Engineering class held its inaugural Skimmer Championship on Friday! Huge congratulations to Kennley and TY for their outstanding performance!

Congratulations to Amy Conley and Dan Eddy our August JCMS Eagle Spotlight recipients!! Thank you for going above and beyond for our students and making JCMS soar above the rest!!

🎉 What an AWESOME day in Mrs. Spradlin’s classroom! 🎉 We kicked off our morning diving into fractions and decimals in math 🧮. The class took guided notes like pros and tackled practice problems with confidence—these mathematicians are really getting the hang of it! 🙌 In Social Studies, we took on some challenging (and exciting!) Ancient Rome vocabulary 🏛️—from plebeians to Pax Romana, and even mosaics! Thanks to all the fun Blooket games we’ve played this week, these tricky terms are starting to stick! 🧠💥 Science time brought even more fun as we watched a BrainPOP and wrapped up organizing our notebooks 🧪📓. There were laughs, learning, and LOTS of “a-ha!” moments throughout the day. It’s always a great day when we’re growing and having fun at the same time! 💡❤️

7th Grade Life Skills classes had fun in the kitchens today!

Adventures in Mrs. Spradlin’s Classroom! Today was packed with fun, learning, and a whole lot of excitement! 🎉 In Math, we went Around the World in an epic Escape Room Challenge 🌎💡—racing against the clock to crack codes and solve tricky order of operations puzzles to unlock all the locks! ⏱️🧠 Our journey was so thrilling, we even had a surprise visit from Mrs. Davis, our principal, who joined in on the adventure! 🏫✨ Then, we dove back into our Parts of Speech with some guided notes and sharpened our organization skills by giving our notebooks a little TLC! 📝 To top it all off, we wrapped up the day with a high-energy Blooket review game to prep for our vocabulary test tomorrow! 🎮📚

🎉 Come out and support our girls! 💪
Let’s cheer them on and show our team spirit!
