Full Circle Frameworks Presents the Work of Seven-Year-Old Artist, Will Geraci, on March 16th!

Come to the premier opening on March 16th from 4-6p.m. to support one of Journeys Schools own, Will Geraci.  Milk and cookies will be served at the opening. Will’s wildlife paintings are inspired by local scenes from nature, such as an ermine going from tan to white as winter approaches and an outline of a bison skull. Will painted with acrylics on canvas and matt board. Prices from framed pieces start at $25 with proceeds donated to The Raptor Fund, as all his initial sketches and drawings were of birds of prey.

Already showing the composure of more veteran artists, Will kept his comments short and to the point. “Thanks to Rocky for letting me have a show. I hope everyone likes my paintings,” said Will.

 

There is no age to art, and kids’ art is particularly cool,” said Rocky Vertone, Full Circle’s owner. “Kids have no internal editor from formal training, no mental baggage, without sales pressure or gallery politics clouding their vision or getting in their head. We need to celebrate that freedom and encourage that, and by having a show for a 7-year-old we hope to do just that.” Click here to see the flyer.

To all Journeys School Parents:

In honor of our wonderful Journeys School teachers and staff, we are planning some Journeys School Teacher/Staff Appreciation Breakfasts in April and May. If you would like to help, please contact Alyson Hockett at 733-6189 or email: hockett2@wyoming.com. Thank you!

Story Time
"In storytelling a child says, ‘This is how I interpret and translate right now something that is on my mind.”         

                                                         —Vivian Paley

Story time is an opportunity on Friday afternoons for students to tell a story to their classmates. This week Molly, Trevor and Sean all shared short stories in the genres of fiction, non-fiction and realistic fiction.

Molly:
Once upon a time two crocodiles were biting each other and two more crocodiles were wrestling and two pirates were fighting them. The End.

Sean:
Once upon a time, this story is real and um I had a car and I lost it and then I got another car. The End.

Trevor:
Once upon a time there was a lion and he wanted to go to his family and that’s for real.

The previous week’s stories included:

Zander:
Once upon a time I drove to a mountain and it was called Pinnacle Peak. My school was called not Journey School but Ulmer School. And my baby sister’s number was one hundred and two. And then when we came up the mountain, we went up and back down really fast.

Bettina:
I was walking around on a beach and then I found lots of shells. And Katie found some shells. And my brother too.

Alexandra:
Once pretend that there was a baby animal. He was made of glass. Somebody came and broke the animal off.

Sled Dogs
On Tuesday we were visited by a whole team of sled dogs. Amanda, from Jackson Hole Iditarod graciously volunteered to come up from Bondurant with six of their dogs. Students and teachers enjoyed a fast ride from the dinning lodge up to the K-2 building and back. Amanda introduced us to each of the dogs and patiently answered all of our burning questions. What do sled dogs eat? They eat high protein dog food and raw meat. How fast can sled dogs run? They can run 100 miles in one day. How many days does it take to finish the Iditarod race? It now takes as little as nine days.

On Wednesday afternoon, students learned more about sled dogs and the Iditarod race during library time with the Kindergartners. The Kindergartners were very knowledgeable about sled dogs because they have already studied them in depth this winter.

These experiences inspire students to further their investigations with our own sled dog, Rascal. In the classroom, students chose to make books about sled dogs, listen to stories about the Iditarod Race and join in a scavenger hunt to find Rascal.

The Tree House
It is finally starting to bloom and beckon spring! Students helped put leaves on the branches on Friday morning. With these new branches, the tree house is starting to look more complete. Now children are working on Flags that can be raised and the lowered to claim the tree house by pirates, Egyptians, club members, peace and good weather. Keep a keen eye on the horizon for warning signs of play in the tree house.

The Falcon Math Group with Kalen
Recently in math the Falcons have been smoothly maneuvering through concepts of place value, number stories, and basic math facts. Students created displays representing two-digit numbers in a variety of visual forms, including tally marks, beans, coin combinations, number stories, and base-ten blocks. Students continued to utilize and grasp mathematical relation symbols in math, such as greater than, less than, and equal to through animal weight comparisons and number stories. Through exploring the average weight and length of various animals, students organized and ordered the animal cards, recorded their findings, and answered comparison questions. Students have measured with many tools, such as tape measures, rulers, non-standard units, and more recently, scales. They also explored and used non-standard units to measure the area of a table surface. Using a pan balance to measure and compare weights, students made predictions and determined sets of objects that weigh the same. These growing mathematicians continue to strengthen their skills and abilities to grasp concepts and patterns of basic math facts through fun games, mini-lessons, math journaling, and manipulatives. With hands-on activities and a spiraling math curriculum, the Falcons are encouraged to investigate, explore, and uncover mathematical knowledge on a daily basis.

The Ermine Reading and Writing Workshop Group with Bari
The Ermine literacy group has been completely immersed in our Author Study on Beverly Cleary! Our exploration of her writings (and the author herself) began by each student choosing one of Mrs. Cleary’s books (she’s written almost 40!) to read independently as their ‘Just-Right’ book. Students have truly enjoyed getting to know the fun-loving characters in her books which have captivated readers since 1950. This led to wonderful discussions of similarities and differences between her characters and her writings. Our culminating activity about Beverly Cleary’s life was a skit performance last Friday. Our skit, “I Can Read Cleary Now”, was just one of the celebratory festivities among K-2 literacy groups to wrap-up a 5 week study of well-known authors of children’s books. In “I Can Read Cleary Now”, characters from Beverly Cleary’s books actually interviewed her. Cast members included: Hollis Vohr as Beverly Cleary, Nancy Morales-Perez as Beezus, Quinn King as Ralph S. Mouse, Griffin Reichert as Strider, Lia Turiano as Ramona, Bella DiVirgilio as Ribsy, and Nathan Watson as Henry Huggins. Ask any of these Ermine to tell you just one of the interesting facts they have learned about one of America's most successful living authors, Mrs. Beverly Cleary, who will soon be 91 years old! She has changed the way students feel about reading and been an inspiration to young authors, as well.

Physical Education Update
The ski program has ended, yet Grades 3-5 students continue to enjoy winter sports during physical education class. Snowshoeing has been a hit! Students have been exploring the trail system right outside our classroom windows. During these snowshoeing adventures, students have spotted porcupine and coyote tracks.
At the end of March, Grades 3-5 students will transition into physical education classes that support the Grades 3-5 spring theme: personal pathways. Tai chi, dance, and personal fitness are a few of the activities students will participate in this spring. Stay tuned for more details about specific classes.

Fifth Grade Capstone Experience:
Middle School Transition Meeting with Students

Journeys School Middle School teacher, Chris Horne, and two middle school students, Breezy Johnson and Dani Domsky, met with the fifth grade Capstone students during morning meeting to answer their questions about Journeys Middle School. Chris began the meeting by asking the fifth graders for questions or comments about Journeys Middle School. Lyons stated, “I heard Journeys Middle School is way harder than the public middle school.” Lyons’ question sparked a quick discussion about academics in middle school. Chris explained the numerical grading system that is used by the middle school faculty. He stated that the numerical grades given at Journeys Middle School are intended to help students understand what they need to improve as well as help them feel good about areas of strength. Melissa then asked, “Can you really eat candy in middle school?” Breezy stated that middle school students are allowed to eat candy at lunch. Melissa’s question led to a discussion about freedoms in middle school. Chris mentioned that middle school students are given some freedoms they do not have in Grades 3-5 (such as eating candy at lunch or chewing gum) but that students are expected to handle the freedoms in a responsible manner. Dani and Breezy nodded vigorously when Chris mentioned that bad choices can result in the loss of such freedoms. Chris closed the meeting with two questions for the fifth graders. He asked, “Are you excited to come to middle school?” Many fifth grade students raised their hands. He then asked, “Are you nervous about coming to middle school?” His second question was met with giggles and some nodding. Chris and Tina closed the meeting by explaining that the fifth graders will visit the middle school in the upcoming weeks.


Parent Meeting about Middle School Transition

and Capstone Project
Parents of students in Grade 5 attended a Mid-Year Capstone Meeting on the evening of March 7. Chris Horne was on hand to discuss expectations of, transitions to, and questions about middle school. Topics included behavioral expectations at middle school (freedom and responsibility), homework volume (approximately 1 hour per night for the average student), and parent roles (parents do not necessarily know the various assignments due and it is therefore up to the student to do the work independently.) In preparation for their transition, all Grade 5 students will visit Journeys School Middle School for one day. Dates of these visits are March 13, 15, 20, 22, 27, and 29.


In addition, Tina outlined Capstone due dates and expectations for student responsibility. Each Capstone student has now completed an autobiography, 10 hours of community service (and recorded that service on their community service log), and a “small moment” story about their community service. Some Capstone due dates have been changed. The outline and bibliography are due on March 19, rough draft on April 2, final draft on May 7, and the artistic component is due on May 14. The artistic component was moved later so that students can concentrate on their writing right now. Capstone students should be reading their books and taking boxes and bullets notes in their notebooks. On Monday, class will focus on this technique, plus a reminder of what plagiarism is and how to avoid it. Additionally, students have outline and bibliography guidelines in their blue binders to follow. Parents should be checking the binders and the planners for assignments and information.

ERB Testing
At Journeys School, students in grades 3-8 take standardized tests each year. These tests are an additional form of assessment to measure individual student growth and to assess our overall program. The tests will be administered to students during the mornings of Monday, April 2 through Thursday, April 5. April 6 will be a make-up day. In class we will discuss test-taking strategies for “bubble-type-testing.” We will also explain test-taking as one way to assess learning and discuss with students how to manage testing stress by relaxing, taking deep breaths, getting a good night’s sleep, and eating well.


If you would like your child to have additional practice with standardized testing, resources are available at local bookstores, Staples, and on the internet. Please contact your child’s advisor with any questions about standardized testing at Journeys School.

Excused Absences
We have found at Journeys School that middle school students are involved with extracurricular activities during the winter. We support student involvement in extracurricular activities for many reasons. We also support students in missing the school time necessary to participate in competitions and meets. Advisors work with students to arrange making up missed assignments when absent, yet it always remains the student’s responsibility to check in with each teacher about upcoming assignments prior to missing a class and to turn in missed assignments when they return. Please urge your child to check in with a teacher before any absence. We appreciate your help with this important student responsibility.

Thank you
Thank you to Krista and Jay for all their hard work during their teaching practicum these past weeks. Their work was not only helpful but enriching for our curriculum.


Thank you to Jill Wright for all her hard work with directing the Romeo and Juliet. And thank you to Pamela Terkovich, Stacey Thompkins and all other parent volunteers that have contributed in so many ways to making Romeo and Juliet a success.

6th and 7th Grade Winter Journey to Kelly Campus
The 6th and 7th graders will be taking part in their Winter Journey this week, splitting the week between the Jackson campus and Kelly campus of the Science Schools. A letter was sent home with students on Friday February 16 that included a schedule and packing list for the journey. Just in case it didn’t make it to you, here is a brief summary of the schedule. Students will be on campus during Monday and Tuesday, then departing for the Kelly campus on Wednesday afternoon, March 14. They will be staying in the dorms on the Kelly campus Wednesday and Thursday evening, and will return to Journeys for the normal pick up time on Friday afternoon. The theme for the week is “Emerging Leaders of the Middle School”, and we will be exploring different aspects of leadership through challenge initiatives, group activities and research projects throughout the week. In addition, on Tuesday students are going to be traveling to an airplane construction company to see the different stages and leadership roles involved in the building of planes. When students arrive at school on Wednesday, please drop them off with their gear on the south end of campus, where vans will be waiting to be loaded in the parking lot. In addition, when picking up students on Friday, please meet them in the same location on the south end of the campus, so that we can avoid congestion in the normal drop off circle. Please contact Margot or Charles with any questions or concerns. Teachers and students are all looking forward to a fabulous week. Thanks for your help in making this Journey possible!


8th Grade winter Journey to Washington D.C.

The eighth grade class will travel to Washington D.C. for a six-day journey to initiate their capstone program. Washington D.C. is a perfect destination for students of this age, and it blends beautifully with our curriculum. We have studied revolutions, World War II, government, evolutionary theory, the history and physics of flight, and art history and theory, among other things. Washington D.C. offers experiential learning opportunities for all of these topics. Being in the nation’s capital also exposes students to issues and cultures which are an important part of our country but are underrepresented in Jackson Hole. Some highlights of our itinerary include: behind the scenes tours at the Capital building; the Ornithology Department at the Natural History Museum; and the National Geographic. We will be doing our service project maintaining and cleaning the grounds at the National Zoo. Several evenings include a night tour of the monuments, a free performance of Macbeth at the Kennedy Center, an evening film at the zoo called “Rare Bird” and a Native Alaskan interpretation of Macbeth at the National Museum of American Indian. Our trip with the entire middle school to Washington D.C. in the spring of 2004 was a tremendous success, and we are excited for the learning opportunities on our trip.

Curricular Updates

Upper School Spanish
Upper school Spanish students have been learning about teamwork and language through the most dramatic of ways . . . las telenovelas. By learning about soap operas as cultural tools and purveyors of authentic language, students continue to develop their own language skills and cultural proficiency. They enjoyed connecting with popular actors and rock stars. Students are studying teen issues and media in response to the question “How are teens interpreted in culture?” They are also increasing their vocabulary and fluency through many games and class interactions. Recently students competed to use a variety of question words to quiz one another about classmates. Through the end of the trimester, students will be looking at other examples of popular culture such as lucha libre. Finally, students will reflect upon their own learning and process through the trimester. Students will be asked to connect their experiences to our essential question and assess their own growth. For the spring, we will once again expand our interpretation of Latino culture to a more global perspective while increasing grammatical structures and vocabulary in order to communicate authentically. ¡Olé!

Advanced Spanish
In Advanced Spanish, we were anxious yet sad to finish reading Como agua para chocolate (Like Water for Chocolate) by Laura Esquivel. To enhance our understanding of the text, we will prepare traditional Mexican cuisine and assess how the novel is interpreted as a film. Advanced grammar studies continue to increase both oral and written fluency. One exercise we use in class to develop oral proficiency is to select a theme, such as “la voz” (voice), then develop an impromptu speech. The speech includes an introduction, definition, personal examples, literary/historical examples, questions and conclusion. It is certainly impressive to see a variety of skills join together for a polished product. This spring, we will continue to explore Latin American literature through the genre of short stories.
