Mr. B's 7th-grade social studies class got a hands-on taste of colonial life! Students became shipbuilders for a day, creating waterproof boats from aluminum foil, tape, straws, and index cards. They then tested their designs to see how many rocks and washers they could carry. It was a great way to learn about colonial history and engineering! 🚢 #SocialStudies #HandsOnHistory #ColonialLife

Our 3rd graders in Mrs. Shrake's class are becoming text feature experts! 🕵️‍♀️ They went on a "text feature hunt," using their "special" reading glasses to explore Scholastic News magazines. The students learned to identify important elements like headings, captions, and bolded words to help them better understand non-fiction texts. It was a great way to make reading interactive and fun! 👓

4Z celebrated Johnny Appleseed Day with an apple tasting. Their favorite apple was the Honey Crisp! 🍎

Students in Mr. Baresel's 7th-grade social studies class learned about Mayan and Aztec ceremonial towers and then competed in a STEM challenge to build their own.

Sr. Mary Solonaus spoke with 4J about how her vocation of sisterhood shows God’s love. They were able to hear sister’s story about her calling to her vocation. We are so blessed to have both Sr. Mary Solanus and Sr. Mary Joseph here at Jordan.

The 6th-grade students in Mr. B's Social Studies created prehistoric tools to experience hunting and gathering. The students collected the materials and then created the tools. They learned what it was like to make tools in the Stone Age and then put them in a "museum" for the school to see the world of the Prehistoric Era.

JA has started in 4th grade with Mrs. Happ. They are creating their own business that use the resources from their region.

5th & 6th grade girls dug into God's truth Friday morning & discussed that when we rightly put our identity in Jesus, we have full hope and assurance vs when we put our identity in things of this world. They listened to "The Truth" by Megan Woods and wrote down the identity they have in Christ that most stood out to them. We are Daughters of the King!
