WHAT'S UP IN CLASS?

RECONNECTING YOUTH - MRS. NERI & MRS RAMOS |

The pictures are from our Family and Friends Get Together.
We wanted to bring our Reconnecting Youth (RY) students and
their families and friends together to celebrate what our RY
students had achieved this year in RY class. We wanted to
emphasize the positive growth our students had made and share it
with their loved ones.
Mrs. Ramos and Mrs. Neri focused on the goals we had been working on
throughout the year. Our goals were to improve school
performance, drug and alcohol control, and mood improvement.
Students were praised and encouraged to continue to use
the advice/tips that they learned in the RY program with us.
Mrs. Ramos and Mrs. Neri also fixed breakfast for the RY students as
a way to thank them for having been such great students and as an
end of the year celebration for all of them.

MR. KING'S BIOLOGY CLASSES |

Students in Mr. King's Biology classes were working on the concepts of natural selection and adaptations. Mr. King sprinkled a variety of beans on the ground for students to find. They had to find the beans and collect the beans using numerous types of equipment such as tweezers, popscicle sticks, spoons, and fingers. Once the beans were collected, students sorted them to discover which beans were the easiest to find and which utensil gathered the most beans. click on a photo to enlarge it

MR. WULF'S CIVICS CLASSES |
|||||||||||||||||
 Mr.
Wulf's Civic classes conducted a survey of the entire school the day
before the presidential election. The votes of students and
teachers represented the popular vote. In order to reflect the
Electoral College votes, classrooms represented states. Staff and
students voted for the president and several propositions on the state
ballot. Sequoia High School's vote was an overwhelming majority
for Barrack Obama.

| On Halloween, Mr. King demonstrated the
properties of dry ice along with discussing carbon dioxide and hydrogen.
He showed the movement of air by first asking Daisy and Christine (the
bumblebees) to try to blow various types of cups off their heads.
Later Mr. King used a large trash can as a cannon and tried to shoot
paper cups off students heads. Look closely at the photos and
you'll see the cup flying off one student's head.

Mr. King's students were given a card designating a cell part. Using booklets they had created, they were instructed to draw that part within the cell structure. Students had to work in cooperation with each other in order to accurately reproduce the cell structure. Once the entire cell structure was complete, students had to determine whether that cell was an animal cell or a plant cell and explain how they came to that conclusion.
