JYMS Students Present at National History Day
|
JYMS teacher Mrs. Garcia's eighth grade U.S. History class participated in a National History Day research project on Jan. 20.
She asked her students to choose any topic related to an annual theme. This year's theme was Taking a Stand in History
.
Once a topic was chosen, students watched instructional videos made by Mrs. Garcia that walked them through the steps of the research process, such as how to come up with a good search term in Google, how to determine if their source is credible, how to summarize and paraphrase information instead of plagiarizing, and how to correctly cite sources.
Students presented to a panel of judges, including teachers from the Baraboo School District and members of the Sauk County Historical Society, Wisconsin Historical Society, Badger Ordnance Historical Society, and Circus World Museum.
Participating students included: 
Cassidie Allard
Lindsey Arnold
Madelyn Beal
Mackenna Belter
Hannah Block
Mabelle Boehlke
Kayly Bratland
Isaac Brewer
Emily Brooks
Jordan Buelow
Emma Crary
Mitchell Hamm

GLW's Kindergarten Classes Visited by Kangaroo
|
The Timbavati Wildlife Park of Wisconsin Dells visited the GLW kindergarten students in Ms. Nelson's and Mrs. Gulden's classes on Jan. 19th.
The presenter brought a baby kangaroo named Jasmine for the students to observe. As the kangaroo hopped across the classroom, the presenter noted differences in the way a kangaroo moves compared to the way a person moves and the way the kangaroo uses its tail for balance while hopping and standing still.
The students were delighted at the opportunity to pet the baby kangaroo!
