Academics in Action Week of November 28, 2011
JoMaNa Students are learning how to think critically by addressing controversial issues. Our current unit is about Food and Hunger. In the set of pictures below, students are shown in groups discussing their viewpoints related to a very specific question concerning drought and famine. Our students quickly learned how to "disagree appropriately," while at the same time, expressing their opinion based on evidence. Enjoy!
JoMaNa Students are engaged in science as we study the Diversity of Life. In the pictures below, they are engaged in a lab investigating cockroaches. This is their third lab studying cockroaches. In this particular activity, they were required to ask "If-Then" questions, based on their facts and information. After the chaos over the Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches, subsided from the first lab, they are better able to engage in scientific inquiry. We hope you enjoy these photos!

Pictures from Thankful Feast!
JoMaNa Team's 2011 Thankful Feast! Our students started the program by reading their short essays aloud. Afterwards, we feasted on the various dishes provided by families and JoMaNa teachers. We are already looking forward to next year's feast. Enjoy this slideshow!
