We love taking a trip into the science labs! Students in Mrs. Miller’s chemistry class were exploring the conductivity levels of various liquids on Friday.
Students in Mrs. VanHouten's class were working on characterization posters for the novel they are reading, Between the Lines. Students were assigned a character from the novel and then worked in groups to create their characterization poster using evidence from the book. Students then took a gallery walk of each poster and gave feedback on the character and the evidence given.
Just a quick visit by Mrs. Miller's and Mrs. wheeler's classrooms today!
In Mrs. Duke's Algebra class, students are diving into systems of inequalities through an engaging puzzle activity. Each student will match a word problem with its corresponding set of defined variables, system of inequalities, and graph. This hands-on approach helps them visualize and understand the relationships between different representations of systems of inequalities, reinforcing their problem-solving skills and deepening their grasp of the concepts.
Mrs. Gaultney's students are using puzzle pieces to learn how to write formulas for ionic compounds!

We love when the community helps us, but it is especially awesome when family does it. Captain Toby Hardeman helped his daughter Morgan decorate her new classroom at the high school this pre-planning!
He did a great job on her door don't ya think??
IMPORTANT INFO: ULHS is currently unsure if the weather is going to cooperate with our plan for Community Night at Matthews Field today. ULHS administration and coaches are monitoring weather conditions via the wet bulb, which lets our coaches know if it's safe to practice outdoors. If possible, we will have a shortened series of events at the field. We certainly hope that all our UL friends and supporters understand that even though we are very proud of our new facilities and want to show them off, we are MOST PROUD of our students and their safety is ALWAYS our top priority!!! We are UL!!! (Parrish Construction Company will still be giving away bottled water while supplies last!)
Mrs. Shearer’s Spanish 1 students are using a variety of means to learn their Spanish alphabet (phonetics) and numbers. This week, students have been singing, learning rhymes, shaping letters and numbers with Play-Doh or using white boards, and learning to recognize the sound of letters and numbers. Mrs. Shearer is teaching phonics in a fun way while focusing on comparing/contrasting Spanish phonics with English. Connecting English grammar to Spanish grammar is very important to our state Spanish standards. In addition, this strategy meets our state standard MLI.INT1 by using a variety of media to teach the basic writing and reading of the target language.
The tactile learning/kinetic approach is working wonders with Mrs. Shearer’s students and I know the kids had fun with Play-Doh while learning!
