Vernon Middle School

VMS Activities: Friday, November 6 - Boys Wrestling

Mrs. Hale's 5th and 7th grade artists celebrated the last day of the first quarter with a challenge - can they fold a paper airplane... but not like the one everybody already knows how to fold? Different designs yielded a wide array of results, from far flyers to barrel rollers and boomerangs. Students learned terms important to their success - fuselage, aerodynamics, and center of gravity!

VMS Related Arts teachers hosted awards celebrations at the end of first quarter, where students received awards for their hard work, and enjoyed some fun games at the conclusion of the awards ceremony. Great work, Wolves!

VMS Teen Living students have been hard at work with first quarter activities that include sewing and cooking projects, as well as creating research posters about making healthy choices. The final projects look great!

Vernon artists have been hard at work creating and showcasing creative designs in Mrs. Hale's seventh and eighth grade art classes. Seventh grade art students designed a functioning whistle built from a basic form. That basic form needed to be concealed in the final product. Discussion and strategy of design determined the success of the whistle. Eighth graders designed a functioning Tic Tac Toe board with a clear theme that coordinated with original X and O pieces. The design and shape of the board needed to work well with the pieces, allowing them to fit well. The design process often needed revision or reworking to make this happen. Students reviewed each other's design to give valuable feedback. Great work, Vernon artists!
