Looking for something to do this Friday the 13? Come support the new Kasson-Mantorville Model UN by attending the burger night! Proceeds will help pay for student attendance at the Model UN conference this spring.

AP scores are out today, and the KoMet APHuG and AP Psych students should be proud, as both classes scored the highest average in each course's time at KM! A testament to our hard working students here in the community; proud of all of you!

Here’s a reminder of when and how students can view their scores: https://t.co/7cS3Z3H1vm

[Trevor Packer @AP_Trevor]

In each version of the AP Human Geography free-response questions, students scored highest on Q2 (Human Development Index; food crops / hearths of domestication).

[Trevor Packer @AP_Trevor]

The most challenging topics for AP Human Geography students were related to Cities and Urban Land-Use Patterns & Processes (Unit 6), where the average MC score was 44% correct.

[Trevor Packer @AP_Trevor]

The 2023 AP Human Geography scores: 5: 16%; 4: 20%; 3: 18%; 2: 14%; 1: 32%. Very inspiring work here by these teachers, who expanded access to 27,000 more students . . . and achieved the highest scores yet posted for this subject!

[Trevor Packer @AP_Trevor]

Many AP Psychology students really demonstrated strong understanding of Developmental Psychology (Unit 6): a massive 31% of students earned virtually all possible points on this unit. They also did very well on Clinical Psychology (Unit 8).

[Trevor Packer @AP_Trevor]

In all versions of the AP Psychology free-response section, students scored higher on the Research Design (Q2) task than on the Concept Application (Q1) task.

[Trevor Packer @AP_Trevor]

The 2023 AP Psychology scores: 5: 17%; 4: 23%; 3: 20%; 2: 12%; 1: 28%. Kudos to AP Psychology teachers and students: psychometric equating shows that learning outcomes were stronger this year, so scores went up, even as 27,000 more students were given seats at this table.

Greenland may finally get colored in on more choropleth maps!

A nice little break from grading to go duck hunting! Thanks seniors! I need a green one, though! @KMKometsHS

[Mrs. Averbeck @KoMetAPHuG]

Well played seniors!!!

APHuG students: remember that tomorrow morning is the big day. It's our first review session AND superlatives will be awarded! Who will be our Neo-Malthusian of the year? Who is most likely to use APHuG concepts to take over the world? See you there!

[Mrs. Averbeck @KoMetAPHuG]

Ike hopes everyone is enjoying the snowfall and snow day as much as he is. He's been bounding through the yard this morning.

"I want just one Expo marker in the lime green color" said no teacher ever. Color me intrigued that there is a market for this!

[Mrs. Averbeck @KoMetAPHuG]

Lots of examples of APHuG concepts we've studied here: human-environment interaction; movement; possibilism and determinism; future migration (environmental forced).

Update on the worst snow day ever

[Mark D. Matuska @MarkMatuska]

Kasson-Mantorville Schools will be closed Thursday, Dec. 22, 2022 and Friday, Dec. 23, 2022 due to inclement weather conditions and forecasted blizzard conditions from the National Weather Service.

Enjoy the break and stay safe KoMets! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

[Mrs. Averbeck @KoMetAPHuG]

In light of the World Cup starting, this video shows quite a few APHuG concepts: globalization; geopolitics; movement; resource curse, etc.
