A BIG thank you to Temple Baptist Church for providing AJHS with a much-needed supply of Scotch tape! ❤️🖤
We use LOTS of tape around here—from classroom projects and interactive notebooks to all kinds of hands-on learning activities. It’s one of those everyday supplies that gets used more than you might think!
We are so thankful for community partners like Temple Baptist Church who support our teachers, students, and learning at AJHS. Thank you for thinking of us and investing in our school! 🦁❤️

Students in Mrs. Glasser’s Physical Science class put collaboration into action with a jigsaw reading activity focused on the transfer of energy. Each student became an “expert” on their assigned paragraph before sharing what they learned with other members of their group. By teaching one another, students worked together to build a complete understanding of how energy is transferred.

Wednesday and Thursday in Mrs. Barker's 8th Grade Honors Social Studies classes, students used our school behavior matrix to sort classroom behaviors into four categories: Responsible, Respectful, Safe, and Professional.
The challenge? Many behaviors could fit into more than one category.
Students worked collaboratively to justify their choices, defend their reasoning, and connect school-wide expectations to our Social Studies classroom.
This activity also supported our SIOP objectives by encouraging students to use academic language, explain their thinking, and support their ideas with evidence.
A great first step toward building a classroom community and a shared understanding of expectations for the year!
