Case Study: Desert Shadow Middle School

Gulf Shores Middle School- On January 13th, the students of Coach Cobb’s eighth grade classes did an experiment to see how far a barbie doll would drop based on the amount of rubber bands placed on its legs. The students were to bring barbies in, the Coach Cobb gave every group of students a barbie doll to use. Then the students were to tie a rubber band around its legs to keep them still, then tie more around that until there was a group of bands from two to six. After that the students were to put the last band on a ruler and drop the barbie, in the same way every time, off of their desks to see how far in meters the barbie would fall. Then on the next day the students dropped one barbie off of a (FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENS)

Uniforms would not be a great idea at Rancho Mirage High School because of the fact that RMHS can barely control their I.D. policy, so do you really think they can make a new uniform policy ? Coachella Valley, which is where RMHS is located reaches temperatures up to 120 degrees which is not uniform friendly, with temperatures that high is can be a safety hazard for students. If the policy is approved parents will be forced to buy uniforms which in many cases they can't afford and will now have to struggle more than they already are just to send their kid to school.

I performed my field experience at Chiefland Elementary. Chiefland is a very small town with the population of six thousand. There are over eight hundred students enrolled at Chiefland Elementary. There are fifty-two instructional staff members and two administers. In those fifty-two staff members, there is one African American teacher and one male teacher; the rest are women. This is a white dominate school. In the school there is 73% Caucasian students, 17% African American students, and 4% Hispanic students. There is only 3% of students that are ESOL and 5% are Gifted and Talented. This semester we learned that in small areas and with low income schools, there are more Hispanics and African American people. In this case, Chiefland Elementary

Gulf Shores Middle School- On October, 22, 2015, the eighth grade students were taken, as a field trip, to Playhouse in the Park, to go and watch plays of Edgar Allan Poe poems for the mystery and suspense unit. The students were taken to see The Tell-Tale Heart, Ligeia, The System of Dr. Tarr and Professor Fether, The Cask of Amontillado performed by the kind people at Playhouse at the Park. They did this because they’re in the mystery and suspense unit, and they have been reading Edgar Allan Poe works, such as The Tell-Tell Heart. After the plays the students were expected to create think and answer questions about what differences were in the plays, and the original pieces of writing.

Wonder what it is like at Stafford Middle School? We have great physical and human geographic features. To begin with, we have clean floors that are mopped by the janitors and tables that are wiped down, also by the janitors everyday. We also have a clean football field that is made of turf, which makes it look nicer and cleaner. We have a safe school that is made of bricks, which protects us from storms and tornadoes.

I think students valley view high school that are in athletics should get a drug test, because schools will not allow students that play sports and have drugs in the blood. If the students have drugs in their bodies can get out of the sports that they play and schools are not going to risk the pride of the school if other districts find out that students play in under drug conditions valley view district can get in trouble.

Madison began the Commack Middle School in the 6th Grade. She continued to receive integrated co-teaching services daily. She also received a special skills class daily for 40 minutes, individual counseling services twice a month for 30 minutes, special seating arrangements, refocusing and redirection, check for understanding, copy of class notes, and extended time. Vision consultation services were provided in the classroom once a month for 45 minutes. In 2014, Madison’s parents considered moving her to a non-integrated class, however she continued to have this support in the 7th Grade. During 7th grade, Madison made improvements with her visual-spatial skills by using open space more effectively; however it was noted on her IEP that providing her lines to write on offered her the best support.

I am a former 8th grade student from Greendale Middle School. After three years of seeing the old firehouse/police station, I came up with a renovation idea for the historic building. Since the High School already has a theater that is optimal for shows, I think that Greendale needs to have a theater that could be utilized for music. Greendale is involved in music and I think we need somewhere where we can enjoy music to its fullest extent. I know that the project would cost thousands of dollars, but this space could be rented to groups like MYSO or other groups that have a big musical influence and it could be used to generate funds. Since the High School theater is not big enough to sit all the supporting families of the Greendale band and

Rebuilding Lincoln Junior High School, LJHS, could open a world of new/more opportunities for students. In the new LJHS, there will be new everything. Tables, chairs, projectors, and rooms. Having these things will motivate students to try harder in classes so, they will get good grades. Having more space and a new layout for the classrooms will help everything flow better and hopefully allow each student to see the boards and screens so that they can fully participate. As the world of technology advances everyday, it is important for schools to keep up with it so that students can be fully educated in it because they will most likely be using it in their future careers. The newest technology will allow

There are many changes that could be beneficial to a campus. Rivercrest High School is a great and small school. Although, I believe some things could be changed for our benefit like: cafeteria food, a later start time and dress code.
