KMMS HAS COOL PARENTS!!! Ms. Ford's 8th grade science class has been studying genetics. Yesterday and today, Mrs. Parsons, a geneticist and KMMS parent, came in to discuss hereditary illnesses and traits. She also conducted an experiment with the kids where they learned the process for extracting DNA. The kids really enjoyed gaining a better understanding of how DNA is processed in a practical lab setting and how that information is utilized. They had very insightful questions and you could tell the unit helped to connect their learning to real-world applications. Thank you Mrs. Parsons for sharing your experience with them!

This year, KM students have been working with Espire Homes and Victory Homes. The play houses be on display in early January at the builders show, where they will be auctioned off and utilized for student scholarships. We are always excited to feature students pursuing their dreams through the many pathways offered at KM. Thank you Mr. Bruening for making these valuable connections!

WALES KINDERGARTEN FRIENDSGIVING!!! With Thanksgiving a little over a week away, the kindergarten classes were more than a little excited to start the festivities. They created their own gobbler hats (that is kindergarten for turkey) and placemats and shared a festive holiday feast!
KM EXPLORE CREATES THE KME OPEN GOLF TOURNAMENT!!! During a STEM activity, students were learning about angles of incidence and reflection using the "Design Process." This was illustrated by bouncing a ball off of an object to get it into a hole. In Explore, when someone suggests a cool learning exercise, the answer is almost always "yes!" So when students suggested they design a mini golf course, it was only a matter of time before they rolled up their sleeves and got to work! It was decided that the golf course's theme would be historical landmarks, which tied neatly into their literacy program. The students worked in groups to select a landmark to research and write about. Then, they drew their designs and built the holes. Once the course was completed, Explore families were invited to come and play. There were over 150 participants and it was a fun and interesting way to tackle complex concepts!
STORYWALK AT DOUSMAN IS INSPIRING YOUNG READERS!!! Storywalk is an interactive adventure in our outdoor classroom that was created by Ms. Strenke's 5K class. The book will change about once a month to continuously introduce students to new experiences and adventures in reading. The current addition, Pumpkin Jack, tells the story of a pumpkin after Halloween. It is a wonderful science lesson that implements some great Habits of Mind. The kindergarten class also created their own Pumpkin Jack to study how he will decompose. The experiment is showing some new growth, and will produce Autumn yields.
PERFECT ACT SCORES!!!! The KMHS Campus boasted not one, but two perfect ACT scores last year. One was later in the school year and was embargoed until November 14th.
