At JBMA Middle School, the past week was filled with a variety of activities. We learned about fossilization and its connection to evolution, made progress on our J.U.N.A. projects, worked on a scarecrow for the upcoming Fall Festival, and helped construct a corn maze.

Our week started with a lesson on fossilization, exploring how it helps us understand the history of our planet and the process of evolution. We learned the practical side of paleontology, gaining a better grasp of the ever-changing story of life on Earth.

We also dedicated a good portion of our time to our J.U.N.A. projects. These projects improved our research and communication skills as we prepared to represent our assigned countries on the global stage at the upcoming J.U.N.A. conference.

Outside the classroom, we continued working on a scarecrow for the upcoming Fall Festival. This hands-on project allowed us to showcase our artistic and teamwork abilities. We eagerly looked forward to seeing our scarecrow on display at the festival.

Another exciting task was helping construct a corn maze for the festival. We got involved in the planning and building, aiming to offer a fun challenge to those who would visit the maze.

Adding to the excitement of the week was a sweet surprise from Mr. Dana – Krispy Kreme donuts. It was an unexpected treat that brightened our day and added some sweetness to our activities.

And last but not least, we welcomed back Jiminy, our pet iguana. Jiminy’s return brought a touch of familiarity and warmth to our school days, reminding us of the special bond we share with our animal companions.

Reflecting on the week, we found it was a mix of science, global affairs, art, teamwork, and delightful surprises. With the Fall Festival and the J.U.N.A. conference on the horizon, we’re looking forward to more opportunities for discovery, creativity, and working together in the weeks to come. Stay tuned for more updates on our journey at JBMA Middle School!
