Students showcase music, math and health projects at Quillayute schools
Summary
Fifth graders performed in a band showcase and middle‑school students displayed stop‑motion math projects and health unit work; band teacher Walter said his beginning band has 35 students and teachers emphasized project‑based learning.
Fifth‑grade musicians played selections for the board and teachers displayed classroom projects that connect standards to hands‑on learning. Walter, the beginning band teacher, said his class is at 35 students this year (down from 40) and praised students’ progress; board members and staff applauded the performance.
In math, a teacher described pilot use of illustrative math and an I‑Ready classroom curriculum and showed student stop‑motion animations that reinforce graphing and transformations. In health class, Mrs. Fusil described project‑based assessments and a nutrition unit in which students converted grams of sugar into teaspoons and sugar cubes to visualize intake.
Teachers said the projects support engagement and that the school will continue to prioritize hands‑on, teacher‑directed instruction alongside Chromebook activities. "Currently, I have 35 students in my beginning band class," Walter told the board, noting a strong retention of committed students.
