DISTRICT NEWS Spotlight On

READER’S AND WRITER’S WORKSHOP “Teach the reader, not the book. Teach the writer, not the writing.”

Studies show that the amount of time spent reading is the best predictor of reading achievement. Reader's Workshop allows the students time to read their choice of books. In many classrooms they can also choose where they want to read, which is motivating for some students.

Teachers begin Reader’s Workshop with a mini lesson, giving direct instruction for a reading strategy/skill and then actively en-gaging the class in practicing that strategy/skill. Then it's "off you go" for students to practice that strategy/skill by themselves, while engaging in their own choice of book.

During independent reading time, teachers conference with students to talk about their strengths, struggles, and goals as indi-vidual readers. The teacher can also personalize instruction to meet the needs of the reader during that conference.

Upon completion of independent reading time, teachers re-group with all students to provide closure to the mini lesson, as well as a time to review and reflect as a learning community.

CAPP WORKSHOP

NOVEMBER 2018

CAPP (Cooperative Academic Partnership Program) is an opportunity for students to earn college credits through MHS coursework. The two courses currently taught by business and information technology educator Ms. Judy Holappa include Introduction to Business and Personal Finance. Both are entry-level business courses at UW-Oshkosh.

Students in CAPP do all the required work a college student does, but in a high school class setting with an adjunct teacher (a high school teacher who has met the qualifications for UW-Oshkosh). Students at MHS use the exact same college textbook, take the same types of quizzes and have semester and final exams which are in line with the college exams.

The major advantage to taking CAPP coursework at MHS is that the class meets every day instead of only two to three times per week, which allows for more individualized project work to ensure understanding and applicability.

CAPP courses are accepted at many colleges and universities throughout the United States. The course options count for three credits at UW-Oshkosh, and the cost is only $100 per credit ($300 total vs. the $1200 it would cost on campus). In order to be eligible for CAPP college credit, MHS students must meet certain requirements, though any student may take the class to earn high school credit. “I’ve had some students who took the high school personal finance class and then asked if they could take the CAPP, for which I say, ‘Yes, yes, yes!’” Holappa said. “CAPP is much more rigorous, but with the level of the course, students expect, and quite frankly like, the higher expectations. They are just soaking up everything they are learning so they can be great financially in their future!”

FFA SUPPORTS COMMUNITY FESTIVAL

MAYVILLE MIDDLE SCHOOL NEWS HALLOWEEN STEM CHALLENGE

NOVEMBER 2018

Fourth graders in Mrs. Hartwig's and Mrs. Hastings' homerooms teamed up and completed a "Witch's Brew" challenge in the STEM room with Mrs. Schneider. Learners worked in collaborative groups to choose two Halloween themed ingredients to see which two combinations would make a chemical reaction. The learners collected data and reflected on their findings. It was a "ghoulish" good time!

CREATIVE WRITING & STEM PARTNERSHIP Third graders in Mrs. Trost's class teamed up with Mrs. Schneider for a creative writing and STEM project. The project "Monster Match", was started by a classroom teacher in Texas who had shared the idea via Google +. MMS third graders designed and built a class monster using a specific supply list and then wrote directions on how to build that monster. The partner classroom in Texas then worked to use the directions to recreate the monster. The classes concluded the project by connecting via video chat. Students were able to virtually meet each other and share the monsters that were made.

The MHS FFA supported the community tradition of preparing Mayville’s downtown for the annual Audubon Days celebration last month.

FFA members, led by advisor Jake Cramer, gathered cornstalks and hung them along Mayville’s Main Street prior to the Audubon Days fall festival. The group supports the City tradition each year by donating their time and effort.

EIGHTH GRADE SPEAKER SERIES

Eighth graders at MMS are reading Refugee, by Alan Gratz, as part of the Global Read Aloud. Stu-dents across the world are participating as a way to connect communities and cultures. Dr. Bojan Ljubenko, a Bosnian war refugee, met with our eighth grade students to dis-cuss his experiences as he escaped Bos-nia and eventually came to the United States. Dr. Ljubenko spoke of the diffi-culties he and his family faced, including the lack of food, violence in the streets, and rebuilding a life after becoming a refugee. Students were able to make numerous connections between the book and the real-life story of Dr. Ljubenko.

Students at Mayville Middle School have been partici-pating in the Global Read Aloud throughout October. Stu-dents are engaging in group activities and discussion to bring reading and comprehension skills to life. Mr. Clark was the guest reader in third grade last month.

Mrs. LeBouton made a surprise visit to MMS to read to the third grade as part of the Global Read Aloud. Third graders were excited to see their former Parkview principal in their new MMS home!

ENGINEERING SPOTLIGHT Special guest engineers from Findorff and Bray Architects, the contractors working on our own referendum construction project, were invited to speak to Mrs. Schneider's eighth grade STEM classes to educate students about their profession and roles, as well as highlight the work they’ve done with the recent renovations at all buildings in the district. The guest speakers also presented about various types of engineering.

The eighth grade STEM classes are currently immersed in an engineering and design project called the ‘Tiny House Design Challenge.’ The class is split into table teams, where they have a design challenge to complete. Their blueprint of a home has to be no more than 240 square feet, 10 feet tall, and fully fur-nished with furniture and appliances.

Students can be seen here working on blueprints and drawing their homes to scale in order to complete a cardboard model based on those designs in the
