24 Club Field Trip

The 24 club took a field trip to Carroll’s Pumpkin Farm in Grinnell, Iowa. They got to pick out their own pumpkins and they also got to jump on a giant orange pillow. The kids got to feeds goats and play their “playground” which had corn instead of sand on the floor.  They also learned about the growth of pumpkins and ate lunch in an old barn.  Everyone had a great time!  Check it out next year!

Cooking with Mr. Dave

Finishing pillows and wind chimes

Mr. Simon’s class was working hard learning new music. Each student was only able to hear themselves play because they had their head phones plugged into the back of their piano. Mrs. Armitage recorded 4 different songs on the camera. It was fun to listen to the class play music. Noah was the most experienced player and was playing a difficult piece of music. We can’t wait to hear them perform!!!

Wind Chimes

Ms. Andrew’s Art class made wind chimes. They are made of 2 liter bottles covered with colored tissue paper. Hanging from the 2 liter bottle is shapes cut from more plastic bottles that were colored with glue and food coloring. The students then added bells for sound. The wind chimes sound and look wonderful. Way to be creative!!!



We took some pictures of Mr. Simon’s music class. They sounded wonderful!! We can’t wait to hear them perform.

STAR Middle School student 9/27 though 10/1

Congrats to Richie, the Middle School STAR student of the week!!  

Spanish Masks

Ms. Rachel’s first period and eighth period Spanish classes made bright and colorful masks for El Dia de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead) for part of their cultural Fridays. The kids used torn up newspaper that they paper mached to a blown up balloon. When they got done paper maching, they popped the balloon with a thumbtack. Then they cut them in half and sanded and painted them a color of their choice. Both classes did an excellent job and the masks were made beautifully. Great Job!!!

Making pillows!!

Mrs. Andrews’s Art class made pillows to give as Christmas gifts to the students’ mothers and grandmothers. They made these pillows from scratch fabric and hand sewed the sixteen individual squares of fabric together. Then using a sewing machine, the students sewed the trimming on the side of the pillow. At the end of all the sewing, came the fun part….the stuffing!! The students had a lot of fun making the pillows and learning how to sew. Thanks to all of those who donated materials to complete this project.

Scarecrows

Mrs. Andrew’s middle school Art class made scarecrows out of clothes hangers, sticks, and construction paper. The scarecrows were really cool and very colorful. Good Job!!!!!

Safety Certified

Mrs. Winge’s Vocational Program completed safety training in class.   The purpose of this training was to prepare the students for industrial hazards that could happen in a work environment.  The class had to complete a certain amount of hours to be certified. The safety training covered construction hazards, kitchen hazards, health hazards and safety hazards.  Everyone had a fun time doing the training and gained a lot of useful information!

Blog Class

                   

Our blog class works on taking photos of projects that happen during school. We then edit photos before putting them on the Rabiner blog site. There are 3 students in this class. We've been working with Picnik, a photo editing site, to get all of our pictures into tip top shape for the blog.  We will soon be working with GIMP, a program similiar to Photo Shop, so we can get more photo editing options.  Ms. Armitage, our teacher, is the person who looks over our work.  When it is done, Ms. Armitage also teaches us how to use and edit the photos on the blog site.  David, Colby and Jared would like to thank Ms. Armitage for making this class as fun as it is!!   

Aquarium Diorama

Ms.Andrew’s art class made a creative project called an Aquarium Diorama which consisted of using laptop cardboard boxes. All the students in the class said they really enjoyed making the project. They had very colorful fish and reefs that were 3D. Great job middle school art class!

Pumpkin Time!!!!

Mr. Carmen and some students from Rabiner planted pumpkins in pots the first part of May.  They transplanted them outside in the middle part of May. Overall, they grew 49 pumpkins!! They plan on making into Jack-O-Lanterns. Students will get to choose the pumpkin of their choice based on their average school point total. Good job to Mr. Carmen and the kids that helped him.
