There are incredible lessons, projects, and opportunities for students throughout Lansing High School. To share these initiatives, Dr. Penrose sends an all-staff email with pictures of an assignment, project, or activity and titles it "Name It, Claim It." The teacher responsible then replies to all staff to briefly explain what the unit is, what they are doing, and any reactions. The email allows teachers to visit other teachers' classrooms virtually and start conversations about student learning, cross-curricular activities, and differentiation.
The September 11, 2024 "Name It, Claim It" goes to Dr. Anne Krebs from her Engineering Design & Development classroom:
"These students are developing Engineering skills of Computer Aided Design and preparing drawings for the 3D printer. Other students are working on glider and skyscraper projects for the KU High School Design Competition that happens in October.
I am very fortunate to be able to watch these juniors and seniors learn and apply Engineering skills to a variety of problems."
