Students continued to work on their "How To" projects for English. These students explained the process for checking the oil in a car. Shelby completed the check. Karen captured each step in photos. Joey and Hailey then described and transcribed each of the completed steps in a presentation. This activity expanded the student's expository writing, communication, and collaborative skills. The final result is a useful, practical tutorial in basic car care.

Chef Molen was at it again today! Students tried their hand at sesame chicken with rice, from scratch. All the ingredients were there for a double delicious dinner. 

The Student Council has been bringing awareness to the most important things students can do to increase their likelihood for graduation and future success. Sue had the students divide up and create visuals to accompany Landmark's 5 Vital Behaviors:

• Attendance
• Positive Attitude
• Productivity
• Cooperation
• Civility

Believe it or not, this game of Hacky Sack is part of an English project. Students polished their expository writing skills by presenting a step-by-step guide, or "How to" project on the topic of their choice for English Class today. The finer points of gameplay, technique, scoring, ad dexterity were on display for this assignment.

Landmark scientists examined Owl Pellets last week. They learned about owl diets and habitats. They identified the tiny bones, skulls, and teeth that remained after owl digestion. 

Mama G is back! She resumed teaching Floriculture and Greenhouse classes when the new term started on January 18th. Students are learning skills and designing arrangements for Landmark's Floral Club.

Congratulations to our Dragons of the Mini-term. Each of these 5 students exemplified one of the Vital Behaviors and left an impression on their peers and teachers. Each of the students received a certificate, treats, gift card, and a ceremonial Landmark Dragon Pin. Thursday was a great day to be a Dragon!

Mark Bailey is one of the most positive people ever to work at Landmark. Every morning Mark has a grin on his face and a positive mindset. He is always ready to talk to anyone about anything if needed. Mark is also quick to point out if youre doing something wrong he won't let you continue to do more damage to your work. He is there to help you along the way.

The Science Department broke out the scalpels and conducted another dissection lab this week. This time they worked on fetal pigs and discovered the intricacies of the pig brain. Also, some students wondered if they would ever be able to enjoy bacon again.
