Classes where the knowledge is applied and integrates what is learned multiplies success in the classroom.
What classes do this?
Physical Education
Music
Drama
High school newspapers and yearbooks
What's sad is that PE, music, and drama are often eliminated in schools.
Here in Alsea, there is a wonderful English teacher, Patsy Jones who encourages her students to take photos, write, and put all their dreams into words. I know she is encouraging one student who is almost finished with a novel.
The Junior Class has just finished working on a logging calendar project as a fundraiser. Everyone worked as a team to make it happen and they are on sale now at John Boy's Mercantile in Alsea, Oregon for $15.00. Or write to the Alsea School at PO Box B, Alsea, Oregon 97324 or call 541-487-4305
