Our Math PLC is making time for more than just planning. We’re learning from each other, too!
Along with developing and refining lessons for our 8th-grade students, we’ve built time into our PLC for colleagues to share their own expertise and strategies with the team. This week, Ms. Gomez led a session on using OneNote in the classroom, giving us practical ideas we can immediately put into action.
Great teachers learn from great teachers, and we’re excited to keep growing together! 📚➗
Just a reminder! Device pickup for upcoming DJHS 8th graders will be Monday, July 27, from 3-6 pm in the small cafeteria. See you there!

In science classes, our students put Newton’s Laws of Motion into action with a fun and engaging Balloon Car Project! 🎈🚗 By using the air released from a balloon, students powered their cars and observed firsthand how force and motion work together. Hands-on learning like this helps bring science concepts to life while encouraging creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork!
¡En las clases de ciencias, nuestros estudiantes pusieron en práctica las Leyes del Movimiento de Newton con un divertido e interesante proyecto de carros impulsados por globos! 🎈🚗 Al usar el aire liberado por un globo, los estudiantes lograron impulsar sus carros y observar de primera mano cómo la fuerza y el movimiento trabajan juntos. ¡El aprendizaje práctico como este ayuda a dar vida a los conceptos científicos mientras fomenta la creatividad, la resolución de problemas y el trabajo en equipo!
