Mrs. Cole, SJHS history teacher 185.02 KB

Mrs. Lana Cole is a new teacher this year at Springville Junior High. She teaches Utah History and US History to the seventh and eighth graders in a portable classroom outside.

Mrs. Cole went to college at BYU. She decided she would start teaching because she thinks “people and history are so interesting.”  She has lots of fun teaching at Springville Junior High. “It’s a cozy town,” Mrs. Cole said.

“Her class is way fun,” said Jansten Thorpe, a seventh grader at SJHS. According to Mrs. Cole, her seventh-grade classes just got done with the mountain men explorer unit where they told tall tales and ghost stories. They learned about different animal tracks and had their own rendezvous where they traded “beaver pelts” for candy.  As for the eighth graders, they just finished learning about the Native Americans. They even had a plant identification day. Mrs. Cole brought different herbs, and the students tasted the herbs then tried to guess what they were.
