Show Thursday, October 9, 2008 SJHS gets Jacob Simmons SJHS JOURNALISM STAFF Springville Junior High School has brought in a new veteran math teacher. teach-er. Jim Anderson, who has taught for 19 years at Spanish Fork Junior High School, has just jumped aboard the teaching team at Springville Junior High. Mr. Anderson has a very unique style of teaching and grading. For example, when grading papers, he lets his students redo a problem as many times as they like, until they get 100 on that assignment. "I want everyone to learn, so I allow them to learn from their mistakes. So if they miss one, they have the choice to correct it," he explained. Most students seem to like this idea, then again who wouldn't when you can get an A? "I. think the best way to learn is from our mistakes, his class allows us to indulge in-dulge in that," stated Ethan Trunnell, an eighth grader at SJHS. An assignment that Mr. Anderson has going year round is a multiplication quiz. On this assignment there are 144 multiplication questions. He recorded a tape, which gave the student stu-dent two seconds between each question to answer. Students take the test once every week, with a few Jr. Bed Devils 40 - Spartans 15!

As I left, I mentioned men-tioned where I was going and said, "The Red Devils were going to SMASH Saratoga Springs." An adult member from Eagle Mountain did chide me. I replied, "Eat your heart out!"

If you have 95 attendance for a term, the school will reward you with the option of getting out of school and watching a movie at the Spanish 8 Theater! Of course, to earn this fabulous reward you have to fulfill a few requirements, require-ments, but at least they're 410 South 450 West Springville, Utah 84663 801-489-9676 DOG & CAT When you're out of town, rest assured your pet is having a good time with us!

He thinks multiplication is the main thing that you use in math, so he wants to help his students learn it and be able to answer questions quickly and accurately. ac-curately. After teaching for 19 years, it is no question that he must enjoy what he does. Growing up Mr. Anderson enjoyed math. But this was not the only reason he became a math teacher. "One of the main reasons, honestly I became a math teacher because I touchdown. Again it was fun to see each different team do their job on the field and the drill team add color and cheer to the game. Drill, your half time show was so fine! This time I was able to observe the team and their plays from a higher position. posi-tion.

Home Auto TICKETS OR Interested in Carolyn Brown SJHS STAFF WRITER Art Foundations is the most advanced art class at Springville Junior High School. In the class they create art in a variety of media. They make collages, collag-es, sculptures, prints, and many other things. When choosing the projects proj-ects for each week Jethro Gillespie looks at what students think art is and explores and expands that image. He also teaches what art is. One of Brandon Wolf's favorite projects so far is the spray-paint stencil, where the students made a stencil of their faces and then the spray-painted the stencil. While Kat Smith's is the perfectionist-slob project, where students made the first half a picture pic-ture as realistic as possible and the other half as sloppy slop-py as possible. Students choose this elective elec-tive class for a variety of reasons. "I'm really interested inter-ested in art and I think that this class will help me improve," im-prove," said Smith. "Ever since I was little I've liked to do art, and I thought that an extra art class would be great," explained Wolf. Art Foundations is a class that is important to New year, new faces at SJHS Ethan Trunnell SJHS STAFF WRITER The seventh graders are the school's new generation of SJHS Knights. They are not to go unnoticed in the halls after school. What is the personality of this mass of 307 students? I interviewed seventh graders from three of the schools contributing to the population about their favorite fa-vorite parts of the day, as well as what their favorite classes are, and what they like about elementary more than junior high. Science, technology, cooking, cook-ing, sewing, and English are all big on Cooper FullmerDs agenda. Though he will be unable to accomplish all of this in his seventh grade year, he is looking forward to his eighth and ninth grade year with much enthusiasm. What do these new kids think of their classes? "I like being able to learn things I hadn't been able to before,"D salD Julian Sad, a seventh grader from Cherry Creek Elementary. Many seventh graders miss elementary but are happy hap-py with the new changes. "I wish we still had recess," said Hunter Hamberlin, a former Brookside Tiger. Many kids like the transition transi-tion more than others such as Cooper Fullmer who calls it "just better." "Where did they all come from?" is a question commonly com-monly asked by the older students at SJHS. These kids came from four different differ-ent schools and the last tally not including those students, who have moved, is as follows: fol-lows: Art City provides the bulk with 102 students. Brookside provides 85. Westside totals at 84. Cherry Creek adds 42, for a grand total of 307. This does not include those students who have moved since the beginning begin-ning of the school year.
