Students from Anne Travis's Middle School Talented and Gifted class (pictured here with me) discussed issues surrounding state government. They were very bright and engaging students! It was exciting for me to meet such great young people that will be leaders in their school, their community and for Iowa.
High School teachers gather in the staff lounge at lunch time to share their concerns for layers and layers of new expectations for them them in the classroom with nothing being taken away from their "plate". Members were encouraged to attend legislative forums in the area and to invite state legislators into their classrooms.
Senior students from Jennifer Cole's Government class visited with me about topics ranging from community service, the impact of state government on their lives, as well as issues that are impacting their community. Jennifer, we are lucky to have you teaching in Iowa!
Chemistry 2 student, D.L., has teacher Nicole King rechecking his work for accuracy. Nicole was celebrating her anniversary of three years + 3 days of teaching in her home town. How fortunate for the community of Shenandoah to have their talented teacher returning "home".
