Electric Car Project

Mr. Dave's high school students are close to completing their semester long electric car project. Students from several classes have been working on the car. Math students created the initial design and cutting of the metal. The technology literacy and electronics students have done the majority of the assembly. Their goal is to have the car operational for the Carbon Awareness Day that will be held the last week of school! Great job gentlemen! It has been very fun to see the progress made on the car! Thanks to Mr. Dave and Mr. Guddall for all the hard work it has taken to get this project completed!

High School Foods Class

Ms. Adams' Foods class and Life Skills class enjoyed making Ratatouille and vegetable soup! They also made zucchini bread from fresh zucchini. Everyone was surprised that it tasted sooooo good! The class plans on making it again to share with their peers. The classes are trying to make healthy items in class so they have been adding more vegetables to their diets. Ms. Adams' classes have also been doing research about vegans and vegetarians for the Carbon Footprint science fair. They will be sharing more information about this and some of their yummy food at the fair on May 25th!

Table Tennis

Mr. Klug had his annual table tennis expo with all of the Rabiner PE classes.  They were able to play a little against him and get some tips!  They also got to watch him in action.  Thanks for having this again Mr. Klug!

OSHA and National Safety Training

Students in the vocational program have received OSHA training from ICCC trainer Tom Anderson.  This certification process consists of 10 classroom hours of instruction and demonstrations.  Along with the OSHA training, the students also received National Safety Training from Mrs. Winge, which consists of 6 classroom hours of instruction.  Both of these training are national and are good for a lifetime.  Great job gentlemen!!

Vocational Students Deconstruct!

The vocational students began to deconstruct buildings for the city of Fort Dodge as part of a training agreement with the city.  The students have been learning how to deconstruct the homes by taking out window casements, removing bathroom fixtures, removal of light fixtures, and the removing of decks and fencing.  In working in partnership with Habitat for Humanity, the items were then taken to the Restore store for sale, with profits utilized by Habitat for Humanity.

The Puppies Visited!!

On Friday, April 30th, two dogs from the Humane Society came to visit Rabiner Students!  The two students who earned Student of the Month helped with Sophia and BoBo Bear!  The students played with the dogs and provided great fun for all of the students who were able to visit the puppies!  After returning the puppies to the Humane Society, the students were able to enjoy lunch at McDonalds!  Thanks to Mrs. Winge for setting this up!  The kids had a BLAST!!

Our Little Visitor On Campus!!!

We recently had a visitor on campus!  The kids thought it would be pretty cool to be able to keep the pony!  However, it's owner came and got him shortly after he arrived at Rabiner.  It was fun to have a pony while it lasted!   

24 Club Field Trip

The 24 Club award winners had the opportunity to go to Mason City to dig up some fossils.  They went to the Fossil and Prairie Center and Park Preserve.  They learned about the fossils, the time periods they came from, and worked with an Iowa DNR officer while they searched.  They also got to take a tour and learn about the history of the prairie, as well as tour the clay kilns that were used back in the early 1800's.  They really enjoyed it!!

PBIS Posters

Thank you to Mr. Randy and Mr. Rick for putting up all of our PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) posters!  They were hung up in our gym with Plexiglas.  We appreciate them taking the time to do this!  They look great! 

Ms. Kimberly!

Mr. Wood

We want to extend a big thanks to Mr. Wood for his years at Rabiner.  He will truly be missed by everyone.  As you can see, he was a big part of some of the students' lives out here, and they will miss being able to chat with him or calm down with him.  Best of luck to you Mr. Wood, and thanks for all you did in your time here!

THANK YOU!!!!

Just want to give an extra thanks to all of our Interventionists, Teacher Associates, and Mr. Patrick for all the extra supports and hard work this year, and especially the past few months!

STAR Lab

Ms. Rachel, Mrs. Armitage, and Mr. Simon took High School and Middle School students into a Star Lab for Science and English.  It was set up in the computer lab for about a week.  The students had a really fun experience going inside the Star Lab as many had never used one before.  Students looked at Native American, Greek Mythology, Tectonic plates, and Cell cylinders.  The teachers read about each cylinder to the students and they were very excited because they had just studied Greek Mythology in English, and Cells in Science!  Thank you to Ms. Rachel for ordering it, and for Ms. Rachel and Mr. Simon for getting it ready to go!

6th Grade Tornadoes

The 6th graders made tornadoes for Science class.  They have been discussing severe weather and during National Severe Weather Awareness Week they made tornadoes!  The students did a trial and error with them as the water bottles they used at first did not work.  They ended up using plastic pop bottles with a little food coloring in the water to make them stand out.  The students really enjoyed talking about severe weather and making the tornadoes! 

Steve Grant

The Middle School students had an awesome opportunity to visit the Manson High School to listen to Steve Grant speak, who is a former NFL football player for the Indianapolis Colts.  Mr. Grant is a motivational speaker to help young people make positive choices.  Each student also received a signed football card from him!  He was very inspirational and made some really good points to our students.  One of his famous quotes is, "You are not born a winner.  You are not born a loser.  You are born a chooser!"  Mr. Grant discussed how it is important to have goals and dreams, but you must put forth the effort to make the goal and dream come true.  If not, he called them, "A nightmare of wasted potential!"  He said "Goals are dreams with deadlines".  Thanks for the opportunity to listen to such a wonderful message!
