Remember to Smile

Week 3 is in the books, and there are exciting activities happening in UA's middle school.  Remember to check out UA's main calendar (on the website) for all of the activities happening this week.  

Learn by Doing...

As you know, Mrs. Rushing has jumped right into the role of Experiential Learning Coach.  Students are enjoying the conversations, problem solving, and hands on experiences that this time with Mrs. Rushing allows.  Make sure you touch base with Mrs. Rushing to carry the content from experiential learning into your classroom.  

Music To Our Ears...

Union Academy middle school students are fortunate to have the opportunity to join our first ever orchestra.  Ms. Lachenmyer has the orchestra students off to a wonderful start, and we can't wait to hear what they have learned.  Keep up the good work!

Self-reflection Through Art...

Mrs. Ferguson's middle school arts students have been busy creating self-portraits.  After they created the portrait, they added a tissue paper overlay for added creativity.  We've certainly got some budding artists in the middle school.  

It's Alright To Smile...
