News & Announcements

VNPS in Math

The MJH Math Department has been focused on research-based instructional practices to improve the depth and retention of key grade-level concepts. One practice is using Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces (VNPS) to get kids up and interacting with the content and each other. Based on Liljedahl’s book, Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics, using various types of VNPSs helps students have less fear of taking risks because mistakes are easily erased. The strategy also gives teachers better access to watch students’ thinking and processing, which increases opportunities for feedback. Students can be seen using the whiteboards inside and outside the classroom daily at MJH!

Cheer Competition Win

MJH Cheer competed for the first time in school history at the Stockton Cheer Competition. The team, led by Payton Beaver and Maelani Sims, won Best Spirit for the entire competition and placed 2nd in the dance category. MJH Cheerleaders attend sporting and community events throughout the year.

Teachers of the Second Quarter

Before the end of the semester, students were given the chance to nominate a teacher at MJH who has made a positive impact on their lives. When the final nominations were tallied, Coach Braun, Mrs. Kirkland, Mr. Morse, and Mrs. Shaban were our students' choice for the MJH Teacher of the Quarter Award!

EPIC Event at MJH

Magnolia Junior High 8th-grade students in the College and Career Readiness class participated in an EPIC event. The course seeks to help students identify and establish goals for themselves and then develop a plan of action to achieve those goals as citizens of our community, state, and nation in the 21st century.  As a culminating project for the course, students filled out a job application and prepared to interview with a member of the Magnolia community. Interviews were conducted by community members, school board representatives, district employees, and MJH staff members. The EPIC event offered MJH students a real world experience preparing them for the future.

Moon phases activity in science class

MJH 8th graders participated in a moon phase simulation during science class. Students observed the changing illumination of light reflection as they revolved the moon around themselves. Their sight line showed how phases appear to change from Earth in the lunar cycle. Through this experience, students were provided a visual connection to better understand the relationship between the Moon, the Earth, and the Sun’s reflection.
