Students identified meaningful synonyms for each term then used those synonyms to accurately determine and match the correct definitions. Next, they connected visual representations to the new terms, reinforcing understanding through multiple modes of learning. To deepen retention, students applied the Read/Cover/Remember/Retell process: they read the information, covered it, and then wrote everything they could recall about each term from memory. This interactive approach promoted active engagement, critical thinking, and long-term vocabulary retention while supporting students’ ability to make meaningful connections between words, definitions, and concepts.
Working in teams, students explored their surroundings and identified examples of living and nonliving components of an ecosystem. They observed organisms, examined environmental conditions, and documented interactions such as competition, predation, and relationships between organisms and their habitats.
The activity allowed students to apply classroom concepts to a real-world environment while developing observation, teamwork, and scientific investigation skills.

For Unplugged Wednesday, students in Mr. Skiffen's AP World History class used the "HIPPO" method to source important documents that they have ready from 9th grade and now. Students looked at excerpts from the Declaration of Independence, the Preamble of the Constitution, and the Declaration of the Rights of Man from the French Revolution to learn about historical context, intended audience, purpose, point of view, and information outside the documents. This information will help students on their Document Based Questions on the AP World History exam in the spring.
Students began class with a warmup focused on creating strong titles for news stories before moving into a discussion about interviewing. They worked on drafting interview questions and learning how to properly prepare for and conduct an interview.
These skills help students think like journalists as they learn to ask thoughtful questions, listen carefully, and share meaningful stories with others.

At Gordon County Schools, we know that providing for your family can sometimes be challenging. The Backpack Buddy Program is designed to help families stretch their food budgets by sending home shelf stable snacks each Friday.
Each school age child enrolled in the program will receive a small bag of food items to take home in their backpack. These snacks are generously donated by local churches, and participating churches only receive the total number of bags needed; they do not receive any family names or identifying information.
If your family would like to participate in the Backpack Buddy Bag program, please fill out the link below or let cgregg@gcbe.org (Cindy Gregg - counselor) know.
