♻️ STEM Challenge: Creative Recycling! ♻️
Mrs. Michele Milling’s students took on another exciting engineering challenge—creating a working jump rope out of plastic sacks! 🛍️➡️🪢
Students put teamwork, communication, creativity, and their knowledge of the Engineering Design Process into action as they worked together to design and build a jump rope long enough for one member of their group to actually use!
Along the way, they discovered that everyday items can have a whole new purpose beyond what they were originally designed for. That’s creative recycling at work! ♻️💡
What a fun way to combine engineering, problem-solving, creativity, and sustainability into one hands-on learning experience! ❤️🐯

🏗️ Engineering in Action! 🐯
Mrs. Milling’s 8th grade students put their Engineering Design Process skills to the test with some fun and challenging hands-on projects!
🌉 Using just two pieces of paper and 6 inches of tape, they designed bridges that could hold weight.
🏢 Then, using 50 note cards and only 6 inches of tape, they built 12-inch towers strong enough to hold 2 pounds!
Along the way, students practiced teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking as they designed, built, tested, and improved their creations.
Learning by doing makes a difference! Great job, Tigers! ❤️🐯🖤

➗🐯 Math in Action at Winona Junior High! 🐯✏️
Mr. Erik Denmark’s sixth grade math students are building their number sense as they learn about Greatest Common Factor (GCF) and Least Common Multiple (LCM) while also putting the Distributive Property to work!
By connecting these important math concepts, students are strengthening their problem-solving skills and learning how different strategies can work together to solve problems. 🧠💡
Way to work, Tigers! ❤️🖤

🐯💵 TIGER BUCKS: REWARDING ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE! 💵🐯
We’re excited to announce a new reason for our WJHS Tigers to work hard, aim high, and take ownership of their grades! ❤️🖤📚
