Sheboygan Falls Middle School

Students in Ms. Dolack's 8th ELA class are "slam-dunking" into their first book, "The Crossover," by author Kwame Alexander. This Newberry Award winning novel uses the novel-in-verse format to tell the story of a middle school basketball player and explores themes of family and growing up. What makes this book unique is that every "chapter" moves the action forward using different types of poetry. To help define characters and their relationships, student groups selected a main player and created a "basketball card" which analyzed how the characters see themselves and how they fit into their world. Not only did we discover reflective writers, but some truly exceptional artists, as well!

Today in Grade 7, Superintendent Mr. Pethan visited our math classroom to engage with students on determining if two scales were equivalent through a card sort activity. His visit is part of his ongoing commitment to being in the classrooms with the students to see the learning in live time.

While the bubbles definitely made this lab fun, there was some serious science happening behind the scenes! Grade 7 Students developed hypotheses, identified variables and controls, made careful measurements, collected both quantitative and qualitative data, completed repeated trials, and calculated averages. Next, they’ll use their class data to construct a Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (CER) argument supported by actual evidence.

Students in Mrs. Blankenburg's seventh grade math class worked in small groups sorting images depending on the correct scaled factors. They then discussed the relationship between the scaled factors and the math involved in determining if the images were indeed scaled copies of each other, and the impact the size of the scale factor has on the copy. In real life we often see this type of math found in blueprints, and maps.

SOAR is officially launched! The past two weeks the middle school teachers, coaches and administrators have spent each day launching our new SOAR rotations that have included Article of Week, Graph of the Week, Silent Reading, and Task Cards to name a few. In between students being drafted into small groups for re-engagement or enrichment opportunities, students will now have greater choice in activities they can engage in.
