Levelland Middle School 8th graders took the STAAR Math and Reading tests on March 29 and 30 but not before participating in STAAR Camp. Students spent a day moving through stations spending 15 minutes reviewing a key concept that they have learned this year. Lessons at each station were designed and/or presented by LHS Juniors. 8th Grade teachers Gracie Ruiz and Janie Fryar have organized the STAAR Camp every year since the test was introduced. STAAR Camp will be conducted for Science and Social Studies in May.

Levelland ABC Writes
When students across the district were taking the STAAR Writing test in March, Levelland ABC students were writing, too. These young writers reflected on their favorite thing to do outside.
"You Got This" LMS!
LMS counselor Kelly Kelley and teacher Brian Luna took a group of students to Lubbock to attend "You Got This!" a seminar led by Alex Kajitani, California Teacher of the Year and youtube sensation known as the "Rappin' Mathematician." The seminar included tips for social situations that require meeting new people and social conduct in professional settings. Kajitana had students practice introducing themselves and using appropriate hand shake, eye contact, and speaking tone. Students also learned how to set short, mid-, and long-term goals and what steps were necessary for completing each goal. Finally, they discussed what dressing-for-success looks like. Boys were given free ties and were taught how to tie a four-in-hand knot, while girls were given a makeup kit and tutorial on how to apply makeup by pageant contestant Ms. Brownfield.
