Dear North Central Jets Family, Your teachers and classmates miss you! For anyone that knows me (Miss Westphal) knows that I always have a project that I’m working on and with most things currently cancelled or postponed... I’m going a little stir crazy, and thus this idea was born. I would love to “SEE” what you’ve been up to and I know the rest of the JETS family would, too! I’m asking any aged JET (student or staff) to send me short video clips (the more creative, the better) answering one or ALL of the following questions about your time in quarantine: How have you ENGAGED your BRAIN? What have you CREATED? How have you HELPED someone else? How are you staying HEALTHY? If you are wondering what I mean... here are some ideas: How have you ENGAGED your BRAIN ? [Examples: experimented with online learning, read a book, researched an interesting topic, completed homework, played a board game with family, finished a puzzle, etc.] What have you CREATED? [Any and all artwork would be great to see - you could send photos of the work, or a quick video explaining it!] How have you HELPED someone else? [I'd love to hear from some of my National Honor Society members on this one... Have you given up any of YOUR time to assist someone who may need a little extra help?] How are you staying HEALTHY? [I'd love to hear from some of my Healthy Youth Coalition on this one... How are you being healthy? Have you been exercising, eating a well-balanced diet and spending time outside? Have you tried to cook a new recipe? You could send video proof of any or all of these things.] As I receive video submissions, I will compile them into a video to share with all of our JETS family. If you'd like to SUBMIT, please email the video clips (60 seconds or less) to [email protected].
Video submissions are DUE by Friday, March 27th. My goal is to post the completed video on Monday, March 30th. If you are not a HUGE fan of making videos... I'd even LOVE to see PHOTOS of what you've been up to! Photos could be easily added to the video/slideshow as well. Any questions, please send them my way. I can't wait to see what you come up with! Miss you guys! -Miss Westphal This may be my last post of ART OF THE JETS for a while... so I had to include of mixture of ages. The projects below are a combination of creations from 6th-12th grade. Each student was required to design an independent project inspired by a children's book that had significance to them. I absolutely loved all of the nostalgic talk about what books came to everyone's minds as they brainstormed. Click to enlarge the images below to see what books you remember! Happy Reading Month to all! There are MANY online resources out there for those with access, please encourage your children to CREATE while you are home! Give your kids a screen break and let them color or draw or paint!! I plan to post projects I will create with my nieces and nephews while at home here and on my instagram - artofthejets. Check back for updates :)
Freshmen artists in my Drawing & Painting class recently completed these Tessellation paintings seen below (click to enlarge). Students first drafted a basic 3" grid and then created a unique stencil to be traced repeatedly to make a pattern.
My HYC group (Healthy Youth Coalition) tried a new activity this week for Valentine's Day. Rather than focusing on the traditional love of a couple... our goal was to raise awareness for SELF-LOVE and create some social interaction among high school students. Each student was given a 1/4 of a heart with a portion of a suicide awareness/self-love message. It was their challenge to find the other 3 pieces of their puzzle. HYC members introduced this to all students during our Seminar class on Tuesday using this Google Slide presentation for reference. Once the heart was complete, students turned in their heart for a small treat, and their time was recorded. On Wednesday, the top 3 winning groups were announced. Photos of the winning groups, along with their completed prevention messages can be found below. Click on the small images to enlarge. Thank you to all students for their enthusiastic participation in this activity, and to the HYC connections in Menominee for making this event possible. Last but not least, thank you to my small, but mighty new HYC group this year. I enjoy learning the ropes of the group right along side of the 9 freshmen who are part of it. Healthy Youth Coalition 2019-2020 Chair: Katelyn S Vice-Chair: Luke G Secretary: Owen E Jaden W Carley N Katrina B Connor F Owen C Dylan P Up next for HYC:
We will be hosting a fantastic motivational speaker to NCA on Friday, February, 28th! Congratulations to the following students for being our officers for HYC 2020!
Secretary: Owen E. Vice-Chair: Luke G Chair: katelyn S. These students took the initiative to turn in an officer interest form to gain leadership experience within our organization. I look forward to having them help lead future HYC events. Up next for HYC - A "Heart Search" event during the week of February 10th - 14th. I asked my Visual Arts class to create designs to paint on my wall cabinets. These cabinets are one of the last things to be updated in my room. Check out pictures below to see how the room has changed over the years. This first photo was taken when I first saw my classroom in 2012 when I was hired. More changes from the art room over time can be found here. After designs were completed, I had my other classes vote on their top choices. The final three can be seen below, click to enlarge. After the vote on the final three, Austin's design (seen below) was chosen for our cabinets. The painting will start during exam week, and I am very excited to see the results. Check back soon for updates! UPDATE - March 9th
The background section of the cabinets is just about done! |
