Our Sixth graders are putting the finishing touches on their catapults as they gear up for their competition tomorrow. Some have loved adding a little holiday cheer as they learn about potential and kinetic energy!
Congratulations to MJHS students Emeline H., Amelia H., and Zach J., for having their narrative writing esssays featured at the December Board of Education meeting. Their creativity and craft were apparent as they read their stories aloud. We are surely growing future authors in our classrooms!
Tonight is the night! Join us for the Mokena Junior High School Winter Concert at 7pm!
Our 6th graders brought Chapter 3 of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry to life through the Sketch and Tell EduProtocol! Students demonstrated their comprehension and analysis skills by creating drawings and providing explanations of key themes. Adding an extra layer of creativity, we experimented with AI art tools to help visualize the scenes. A perfect blend of classic literature, artistic expression, and modern technology!

Another National Novel Writing Month has come and gone and the Meteor Write Club has wrapped up their season.
This year's ten writers produced 114,045 words in just 30 days. Peyton Fitzgerald, Emme Giovanini, and Alex Herman all reached their word goals. Emme led the way with the most words, writing the equivalent of novels "The Call of the Wild" or "Ten Days in a Mad House" in one month.
Sofia "Sage" Sanchez and Dominic Santelli both were chosen by their peers for two writing awards each. Peyton Fitzgerald's "Mind Breaker" was voted the best title. In the final award of the afternoon, Sanchez earned a Varsity Award for participating in all three years here at Mokena Junior High. Since 6th grade, she has written about 40,000 words which is longer than "Old Man and the Sea", "The House on Mango Street", or "Animal Farm".
Congratulations to all of our Mokena writers. They are a creative bunch!
