Students in Mrs. Sara Powell’s 7th grade Health class partnered up and taught a lesson during their class time.
Each group had to do a lesson plan, along with teaching a lesson on a Health topic that was chosen during class.
The lessons consist of PowerPoints, worksheets, puzzles, Edpuzzles, YouTube videos, popcorn reading, & making video games such as; Gimkits, Kahoot and Booklets.
One group even played the good ole’ fashion Hangman game on the whiteboard using the chapter vocabulary words.
The students enjoyed taking over the class and being the “Teacher” for a day.

SDMS Office Staff came in early this morning to prepare breakfast for our middle school staff. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to our students! We hope you have a safe and Happy Holiday!

Ms. McCune's Design and Modeling class successfully completed an engaging engineering design challenge by constructing their own marble roller coasters! Students were tasked with designing a coaster that could carry a marble from start to finish using only specific materials like cardboard, tape, and scissors. The coaster had to include at least three hills and one loop, and students needed to ensure their design could withstand the marble’s journey without any stop. This hands-on project fostered creativity and enhanced student's critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
