Middle School Trick-or-Treating

The middle school students went Trick-or-Treating for Halloween.  Their requirements were to pass all of their classes for 1st quarter and display no extreme behaviors.  We went to the Cottages, Daily Choices, the Administration office, the School office, the kitchen, Middle school, and High school.

Employability Class Research Presentations

 Mrs. Winge and Mr. Seltz's Employability Class researched different career clusters. They compiled the information to present to the rest of the class. The presentation required that the students must stand tall, away from the wall, speak clearly, and be able to answer questions fielded from the large group. Each student in the large group was required to ask a question to the speaker on his topic. Good Luck Gentlemen!

Middle School Halloween Snacks

Mrs. Armitage and Mrs. Lunn's Middle School Math and Science students were rewarded with Apple Teeth for all their hard work. The creepy teeth were made from apple slices, peanut butter, and marshmallows. The teachers even jumped in to frighten the kids!!!

Apple Crisp

Ms. Adam's 8th Grade Foods Class prepared apple crisp and then enjoyed it the next day with vanilla ice cream! YUMMY!!

Mrs. Winge's Classroom

Mrs. Winge has a unique appeal to her high school classroom which the students and visitors really enjoy! She hung string across her room to display all the job site pictures that the students work at throughout the week. If you are near her room stop by to see the gallery of pictures!

STAR Student Week of 10/19 to 10/23/2009

Congratulations Jonathan for being the STAR student this week!

Keyboarding Lab

These are pictures of the new Keyboarding Lab.  Mr. Simon stated, "There aren't many labs in this part of the state, so it is a bold and innovative undertaking."  The lab was purchased through Aabaca, a music company from Minneapolis, and the Yamaha Music Corporation.  Mr. Simon and Mr. Ryan installed the lab in the science room in the high school this fall.
The lab allows eight clients and a teacher to play the piano and listen to each other.  Each student gets a lesson that must be completed that day.  The teacher listens to the students while they are practicing.  If the student plays it right, it can be shared with the rest of the class.  When the class has mastered that lesson, they perform it together.  Only then are they allowed to go to the next lesson.  So far the Middle and High School vocal students are the only students that have been able to use the lab, but hopefully soon it will be available to all Rabiner clients and staff.
Awesome job Mr. Simon and Mr. Kelleher!  Way to integrate new and exciting technology into the classroom!
