8th Grade Students enjoyed a day of talking about The Industrial Revolution and the steam engine. Mr. Dollar has an electric replica of a steam engine, and the students really enjoy when he heats it up and shows them the process of getting power from steam. The discussion and presentation was very informational.
Tomorrow is our last DJH pep rally. 12:30 in DHS gym. Let’s cheer our Jr Dragons on to VICTORY!

From Mrs. Erwin about an activity they did in literacy classes yesterday:
“We had a fun day of reading at our book tasting! Students rotated through 5 different books to encourage them to read new types of books! Students enjoyed the activity and found new books to check out from our library.”
8th grade math has been studying a Geometry unit. They have learned about angles in triangles, rotating shapes, drawing a reflection of the shape, and what "similar" means in Geometry. This week, students were to draw "similar" triangles given a set of criteria. Enjoy the finished products.
