Milan Middle and Intermediate Schools

Band members in grades 6-8 did an amazing job tonight at the spring concert. Love hearing how much they change from the fall. Also had a special guest join them tonight as Mr. Beeler did some rapping with the middle school band. Great job everyone. Keep up the great work.

Our 5th Grade classrooms are learning about the branches of government. This week in Mrs. Hicks’s classroom, the “Executive Party” officially signed off on our classroom Constitution! 🇺🇸

We’re now working on creating our own Bill of Rights and classroom laws. Students (our “citizens”) have been sharing their ideas and presenting them to the Legislative branch. Bills were drafted and passed in both houses of our classroom Congress—but in a surprising twist, our Classroom President, Evan, vetoed three and signed just one into law!

Our legislators are already back in session, revising ideas and working on new bills. We’re having a great time learning about how our government works by actually bringing it to life in our classroom!

Before Thanksgiving break, the 6th Grade Science students created candy corn catapults to review kinetic and potential energy. Students built their catapults with popsicle sticks, rubber bands, and/or spoons, then launched a candy corn. Next, students had to measure each launch and find the average of their distances. After the hard work, students participated in a classroom/grade-level competition for the farthest launch.
