 Southeast Polk students in the Parent and Child Development classes are going on a field trip to Shining Stars Daycare to observe and learn about child behavior on Thursday, January 7. There will be two groups going, one in the morning and the second in the afternoon.
            While at the daycare, students will be expected to interact with the children and apply the knowledge that they have gained in class. In class, students have learned about children from ages of infancy to elementary. The students have also been making toys and planned activities to participate in with the children.
            Students of the Parent and Child Development classes think that this experience allow them to see how children behave in certain situations. They also believe that it will help them in their futures when they go into a life or career involving children.
            “I am looking forward to seeing how the children play with each other and us,” said junior Morgan Jorgenson. “I am also excited because I am sure that they are going to be adorable!”

            Some of the students have not had an experience like this before, but they are looking forward to it and hope to become involved in more opportunities such as this one.

Kaelee Kessee Managing Editor                  In social studies Eric Gross’s AP Human Geography class, students have been learning the skill of answering essay questions that will be seen on the AP tests this May.                 The questions are known as Free Response Questions or FRQs for short. The questions are centered on the material learned in the class throughout the semester. The most recent FRQ pertained to the information learned in the second unit of the book over population and migration.                 The students had the opportunity to take their first FRQs home to work on them overnight.                 “I thought that for the first one it would be good to do a take home assignment to gently get [them] into it. Next we’ll be doing one in class and eventually as a test,” said Gross.                 When grading the tests, Gross looks at the responses the way any AP grader would when looking at them this summer.                 “I look for: Did you answ

These aren’t just ordinary sticky notes, on every single sticky note there is an inspirational quote to start your day.                 During spring break, students that are a part of stand for the silent got together and made a sticky note for every single locker in this school. Mrs. Goodrich is in charge of this club and actually came up with the idea. “We did it to uplift people after coming back from break,” sophomore Cassidy Oberbroeckling said.                 When asking other students what they thought of the idea, they responded with positive feedback. “It was a very good idea and it was cool to walk around and see all of the different messages,” senior Nic Henderson said.                 Doing these creative messages can really help to brighten a student’s day after everyone
