Dream Job!!

 What is your dream job?  At least once in our lives we have thought what our dream jobs would be.  Students from KMS/KES were asked the following question: “What is your dream job?”  Kaleb Mark said his dream job was to join the military, but he never specified what branch he would like to join. Caitlyn Myrick and Hailey Neises said their dream jobs were become veterinarians. Vets are basically animal doctors, so they do whatever doctors do, but for animals. Wyatt Smith said his dream job is to become a drummer in a well-known band. Laythan Martin wanted to become a cop, but he didn’t know what kind of cop yet. Logan Webb said he wanted to become a rockstar for a band that he wanted to make in the future; he wants to play guitar in the band. Finally, Abigail Clover said she wanted to become a scientist and create and find new things.

Get Some Rest!!!

Kingman Middle/Elementary School has a late start on Monday the 27. What will they be doing on the 27? Riley Johnson will be riding his BMX bike in the morning.  Bailey Taylor, Josie Albin, Abby Wells, Cady Zoeller, Deanna Cheatum and Nate Myrick will be all sleeping in. Taij McClaflin will be staying up so she will sleep.

Why is it good to get an extra hour of sleep? It’s good to get an extra hour of sleep because there have been around 33% of students reported falling asleep in school. Clearer thinking would be another reason because sleep loss affects how you think, it impairs your cognition, your attention and your decision-making. Studies have found that people who are sleep-deprived are substantially worse at solving logic or math problems than when you are well-rested.

Sooooo, get some rest!!

Teacher Inservice Day

On April 13, Kingman Elementary/Middle School will be having no school. The day will be a teachers' in-service day, that means only teachers will go to the school. Teachers usually have an idea of what goes on at school on a in-service day, but the kids usually don’t. On the last late start day on March 30, the teachers talked about things going on in the school. One of the things they talked about was changes to tornado drills. Another thing they talked about is how they could increase school attendance, and they looked at the suggested schedule. They talked about the results of the Seminar survey in February. For the teacher in-service day on April 13, teachers will have to be in Mr. Conard’s Room by 7:45. There they will talk about a variety of things. A lot of the things will be about how to change the school, and feedback from the teachers about past changes. From around 8:15 - 9:15 teachers get into the PLC groups to discuss the topics that are given to them and discuss other topics as needed.

Happy Easter!

Easter was on April 5, which was the first Sunday of the month.  Easter celebrates Christ’s resurrection.  Many Christians think that the bunny and the eggs are a distraction to people, and they don’t remember Jesus’ resurrection.  However, most Christian churches have the service and then afterwards they have an Easter egg hunt.  There were two questions asked to some students at Kingman Middle School.  The first question was, “What are you doing this Easter?”  Some answers were:  going to grandma's, Easter stuff, going to church, eating food, hanging with the family, going to grandparents, doing family stuff, church, and more family.  The second question was, “Have you seen the Easter bunny?”  Some answers were:  no, nah, yaaas, negatory, no, yes, yeh, no.  It appears not many people go to see the Easter bunny now.  Anyway, hope you had an amazing Easter!
