Mr. Maxwells 7th grade Science class had fun learning about static electricity with a Van de Graaf generator.
Students in National Park Science elective made stalagmites and stalactites to resemble the formations in Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota. We super saturated a water solution with Epsom salts (by heating the water and dissolving the substance). We are watching as the water evaporates over the next few days to see if we get some cave like formations. We hope to zoom with park rangers soon.
This week, Miss Halcomb's classes worked on writing letters to someone in their family for Valentine's Day. Students made rough drafts of their letters, edited them, and made final drafts. Then, students worked on addressing envelopes, and counting change to buy their own stamp at the post office to mail them home!
Jonesville Middle School is fortunate to have a guidance counselor, a mental health counselor, and a behavior interventionist available to our students. Thank you, Mrs. Elder, Mrs. Conklin, and Mrs. Brown! We are lucky to have you.

In our National Park Science elective course, our students were able zoom with a National Park ranger from Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah! Ranger Alicia talked to us about the geology of the canyon. (Actually it is not a canyon, it is an amphitheater. A canyon is made by moving water, like a river. The amphitheater was made from several processes including freeze thaw weathering.) She told us how the wonderful formations came to be. She also talked to us about the emblem of the National Parks and what each element stood for. It was quite interesting to see the park and hear her talk. We also had some time at the end of the session to ask questions.

Good afternoon Comet families! I’m reaching out to you to let you know that the buses will be picking up your student(s) on time, but the backroads may cause some delay in normal drop off times. Thank you for your understanding as we want to be as safe as possible. Go Comets!
Yesterday, January 29th, the seventh grade welcomed Sgt. Major Jeremy Allnutt from the Army National Guard. He helped kick off our Literary Analysis unit we will be beginning in ELA. We will be using Ground Zero by Alan Gratz as our mentor text for this unit. The book is about 9-11 and how those attacked also impacted the lives of people around the world, specifically in Afghanistan. Sgt. Major Allnutt joined the military following the attacks on 9-11 and served a tour in Afghanistan. He talked to us about what happened on 9-11 and the lifestyle and culture in Afghanistan. Using his experience with Afghan people, he was able to give us some background knowledge of how they live, their customs and behavior expectations in Afghanistan. Students will read about those things through the eyes of the characters in Ground Zero. He helped students also have some background knowledge of the attack on the twin towers and how devastating it was not only for our country, but also for the people that were there. He shared photos and stories. He answered questions the students had. We thank him for his time and his service.
Jonesville Middle School is excited to announce our first semester honor roll students!
