Mrs. Spanhook and Mrs. Schmidt's classes participated in the living history experience at the 19th century home of Thomas Lincoln and Sarah Bush Lincoln, father and stepmother of our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln. While visiting, the students will participate in several activities, so students can experience how people lived during the 1840s. Student participated in various farm activity including candle dipping, making Johnny cake and apple crisp, sewing, mucking stalls, petting animals and a scavenger hunt in the museum. It was a great day! #JeffersonCUSD1

🧪 Identify the Powders Lab! 🧪

Students were given three different “powders” salt, sugar, and cornstarch and challenged to use their knowledge of the properties of matter to determine which powder was which!

They observed, tested, and compared the powders using specific properties to solve the mystery. A fun, hands-on way to put their science skills to work #JeffersonCUSD1

JES Unified Friends rallied together for the Homecoming Parade Wednesday!

Mrs. Clines 6th grade students were collaborating to solve puzzles. There were only 9 pieces but as you can see from their expressions, it was a challenge to solve. #JeffersonCUSD1

4th grade art classes discussed pattern and created a chameleon showcasing a pattern of bright colors. They then decided where their chameleon was and filled in the background. #JeffersonCUSD1
