Johnson County Middle School

Agriculture classes continued their studies of breeds. Today they met Henry a 1.5 yr old Great Dane. They discussed the origin of the breed and their original purpose. They learned that the breed has changed over the years from selective breeding. They also learned what medical issues have become a problem due to some of these new characteristics.

A huge shout out to JCMS SRO, Jeremiah Prescott, for being the guest speaker in Mrs. Caudills Career Choices/Life Skills classes today! Thank you SRO Prescott for sharing your career story with us today!

More healthy competition in science with Mr. Conley and Mrs. Eddy

My class helped me design and set up the aquarium for our new pet. Stan is a Map Turtle and likes minnows and pellet food. He can swim for hours. We learned a lot about their natural habitat, and what to feed them.

📚✨ Marvelous Monday in Mrs. Spradlin’s Class! ✨📚 Today was full of learning and laughter! In math, we dove into more guided notes and sharpened our skills with some Khan Academy practice 💻✏️ — exploring the world of decimals, fractions, and percents! 🧠➗💯 Then in Language Arts, we kicked off our novel study of Wonder by R.J. Palacio — and what a hit! 🎧📖 We followed along in our own copies while listening to the audiobook on YouTube. The kids couldn’t stop laughing at the book’s funniest moments — and neither could I! 😂💙 There’s truly nothing better than seeing students fall in love with reading. Watching them connect, laugh, and engage with a great story makes my teacher heart so happy! 🥰📚💫

Today, Mrs. Staniford’s ELA classes engaged in an in-depth analysis of song lyrics to identify various forms of figurative language. Students collaborated to highlight and examine how these literary devices enhance meaning, evoke emotion, and create vivid imagery within the text. Keep up the good work, Eagles! 🦅 📝 #JCMSStrong #Eagle4Life

To build reading stamina, Mrs. Preston's 8th Grade ELA students kicked off the school year with independent novels. These students visited the library to choose their books and they're practicing Sustained Silent Reading several times per week. There is nothing better than diving into a good book! 📖

Mrs. Caudills Career Choices/Life Skills classes enjoyed having a virtual guest speaker through Discovery Education's Career Connect!

The 8th Grade Engineering class held its inaugural Skimmer Championship on Friday! Huge congratulations to Kennley and TY for their outstanding performance!

Congratulations to Amy Conley and Dan Eddy our August JCMS Eagle Spotlight recipients!! Thank you for going above and beyond for our students and making JCMS soar above the rest!!

🎉 What an AWESOME day in Mrs. Spradlin’s classroom! 🎉 We kicked off our morning diving into fractions and decimals in math 🧮. The class took guided notes like pros and tackled practice problems with confidence—these mathematicians are really getting the hang of it! 🙌 In Social Studies, we took on some challenging (and exciting!) Ancient Rome vocabulary 🏛️—from plebeians to Pax Romana, and even mosaics! Thanks to all the fun Blooket games we’ve played this week, these tricky terms are starting to stick! 🧠💥 Science time brought even more fun as we watched a BrainPOP and wrapped up organizing our notebooks 🧪📓. There were laughs, learning, and LOTS of “a-ha!” moments throughout the day. It’s always a great day when we’re growing and having fun at the same time! 💡❤️

7th Grade Life Skills classes had fun in the kitchens today!
