Jumpstart day 5: Scotland day! This morning we built our own terrariums to simulate Scottish flora! In the afternoon, we had a mock home-ec class where the students created their own breakfast burritos!


Day 4 we “traveled” to Australia! We designed our own dot art and then attempted to throw (and catch) boomerangs! In the afternoon, we started a crime scene where we analyzed (fake)blood samples and ink! We will finish later with fingerprint identification and handwriting analysis!

Day 2 PM of Jumpstart: FUN playing with polyurethane foam! We made crazy shapes out of cups, gloves, and anything we could find!



Day 2 of Jumpstart: vehicle safety and knowledge! The high schoolers had to find the “equipment” to change a tire on an older car & a new truck! It took a bit to find the jack system on the pickup! It was a learning experience & quite fun too!




What a great first day of Jumpstart! First Aid safety (with their own kits!), stock market info, and games!
