Foodology
These past two quarters, the eighth grade students who had foodology had a busy class period. The activities they got to participate in were cooking, making healthy menus, making a cookbook, researching healthy recipes, and finding out more about nutrition facts. There are about five groups with three students in each of them. Ryan Szymik had stated, “This class helps you get more prepared for life, it helps you with organizing your stuff, and allows you to see what cooking is all about.”
Some things the foodology class has made are egg salads, homemade potato chips, triple berry smoothies, homemade orange juice, homemade spaghetti sauce, and sauteed vegetables. Ryan’s group specifically had made healthy poppers, trout, soup, and fish. The kitchen students use has three stoves, and groups rotate days for cooking. Whenever students are done cooking, they always clean up their area, organize cabinets, vacuum, mop, and wipe down the tables.

8th Grade Transition Day
On Friday, January 10, the eighth grade students had a transition day. This day was about helping the eighth grade students feel more prepared to get into high school. It took place at Chequamegon High School. The Park Falls students got to stay at the south campus in the morning and the eighth grade students living in Glidden took a shuttle bus to Park Falls. This event took place in the morning. The eighth graders were split into four groups. They visited four different subjects and areas of the high school. One classroom they visited was the Fab Lab, which the students got to choose stickers and see how they were made, see the technology, and they got to make key chains with their names on them. The next place they toured was the welding room. They got to see some projects that students worked on and projects that students are currently working on. Students also received little square pieces of wood with the first initial of their last name on it. They then got to learn more about entrepreneurship, more about businesses, and how they put the yearbook together. The last thing was the ACT classroom, where some high school students explained the things they did there, the field experiences they go on, and what it takes to be apart of it. After they toured these parts of the school, lunch was provided for them. The eighth grade students returned to the middle school to continue their day. Josie Kleczewski, an eighth grader, had mentioned that she had thought this day was very helpful, and she thought that the groups and sessions that they did were very helpful. She now has a little more knowledge of what high school is all about.

Flashlight Reading
The elementary is doing an activity called flashlight reading. This happens once a month on a Friday in Mrs. Hanson’s room down in the elementary. The elementary students get together to read in the dark for multi-age learning. The younger kids are holding the flashlight while the bigger kids are reading to them. I interviewed Mrs. Hanson to discuss this topic and this is what she said, “The reason we do it is to help them become fluent readers in a fun way.”
This is a great way to get kids to read in a fun way and is enjoyable for them. It allows the students to become more engaged in the reading and is a wonderful opportunity for the elementary kids.

The Walking Classroom
The Glidden Community Learning Center is offering a program called “The Walking Classroom.” This is an after school opportunity that is always available to everyone. This project is an award-winning activity. The Walking Classroom is for kids grades 4-8 during the after school program. Students choose a podcast to listen to, but the twist is that they walk around the classroom while listening to it. I interviewed Mrs. Hanson, the coordinator of this event, and she said, “It is an alternative for academic enrichment.”
This is a wonderful activity that teaches kids while they get exercise. They get to listen to a 25-minute podcast and walk around the room. It lets the kids learn something new, and they get to choose any podcast they want. The podcasts are social issue or historical based, and the students’ favorite podcast is the origin of the song, “ Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” This is a great thing and definitely could give someone a reason to join after school.

Hockey
On January 25th, the Price Ice Peewees won both of their games against DC Everest. The score of the first game was 6 to 2, and the score for the second was 8 to 4. On February 1st, the team has playdowns against Tomahawk, If our team manages to win this game, they will continue to state and possibly could win state champions! The team is a mixture of 6th and 7th graders and also has 2 fourth graders because the team doesn't have many kids. Frank Kief said that he really enjoys hockey and that it is a fun and enjoying sport.

Wrestling
The Chequamegon Middle School has a wrestling team. The wrestlers start middle school wrestling in fifth grade and it goes through eighth grade. The coaches are Mr. Oswald and Mr. Beaver, and sometimes the high school wrestlers help out. The practices are in the high school mezzanine at the South Campus starting February 4th. The students wrestle for fun and competition, and at the end of the wrestling season, there is a big tournament. There are nine or more different schools and at least 25 different brackets.
Two boys or girls go on the mat until either one of them wins by a pin or by points. Wrestling is a single sport, with three periods of wrestling. There are a lot of places you go to wrestle, but there is only one home meet this year. I interviewed Dalton Schmidt and Nayana Walker. Nayana said that she likes wrestling a lot. I also asked her how many matches she won in a year, and she said 8 and lost 7. Dalton said he won 17 and lost 2 in one season he wrestled.

Ice Fishing
Earlier in the year, the ice was looking great and we had about five inches of good, clear ice with almost no snow on it. Now, ice fishing is extremely difficult because of the warmer temps and a wide variety of weather including rain, sleet, and snow. Those factors made most lakes very hard to fish because of large amounts of snow and slush. On some smaller lakes, the slush went into the lake or froze up and those lakes can be fished more easily. Also on the lakes with little or no slush, you are able to get an ATV on most of them even though there are still a couple of inches of snow on them. Some lakes have no slush in the shallower parts or by the shore, but as you go out further, there gets to be more and more slush. On the lakes that there is slush everywhere, fishing can be very difficult, and it is almost impossible to get out very far. It's hard to get out far because you cannot get an ATV onto the ice, and the ice can become weak and the slush will be very deep.
So far this year, the fishing has not been very good. Many people have said that there is so much slush and snow on the lakes that they aren't catching too much. Some people think that the more snow that is on a lake the less oxygen gets in the lake for the fish. Most times that I have gone fishing when there is a lot of snow on the lakes I haven’t don't as well as I normally do when there is less snow. I asked Nolan Niehoff about how the fishing was and he said, “The fishing hasn’t been great, but we have been able to catch a few nice walleyes.”
