Dear Parents,

The science "cell reproduction" performances are due at the end of class on Monday.  I am really looking forward to seeing what they accomplished!  Their self assessments are also due that day.

The building is really cold right now because the boilers are not on yet.  I would recommend students bring an extra sweatshirt to leave in his/her locker for emergencies.

We will be participating in the Living Rosary on Wednesday.  Mrs. Brochtrup and Mrs. Boerke lead us through this each year during the month of October.  We are grateful for the new environment in the church to help us celebrate this special time.

7th grade articles are due no later than 3:15 on Wednesday.  I will not be accepting these late, so you might want to mention this to your child as it will make a pretty big mark in his/her quarter grade.

Genetics is our next topic of study.  We are very basic in our study, but the students do begin to understand why they look the way they do.  The project includes creating a "family" with a Thanksgiving theme based upon traits the student creates.

Science fair is this year!  Mark your calendars for March 14th, as it is a required night of attendance.  I will be handing out the packet about it after Thanksgiving.  I promise to walk each child through the process as best I can!

Hope you all have a great week!
Kim

Dear Parents, It was a great first week back at school!  I know that I keep saying that I can't believe these kids are in my homeroom, but I am still amazed that time flown by this fast.  They were the little ones in the cafeteria, when I would walk by at lunch, and shout "IT'S SCIENCE DAY!" and now it's science day every day!  :)  I loved their enthusiasm then and am truly driven by it now. The rain just keeps coming down.  I hope that your family has not seen damage to your home due to the excess water.  I hope we get some dry days very soon! This week this kids start, in earnest, on the first project in science for the year.  They are each to build a plant or animal cell.  Each project should make a connection to a topic (sports, food, a building, etc..) and be created via that connection.  I am so anxious to see the creativity of this group.  The project and all its parts are due on September 20th. There are several students ...

Dear Parents, It's here, It's here, It's here.... finally, December has arrived!  I was so happy to start Advent this morning at church and hearing Deacon David's homily was really good.  Sounds like Fr. Randy is doing well and will use one more week of time to continue his healing.  Fr. Allam has been doing a good job in the absence of Fr. Randy.  We are so thankful for all of their leadership. This week: Monday: We have our first Advent Prayer gathering at 8:30 in the church.  Everyone is welcome to join us! The 6th - 8th grade will have Reconciliation in the church from 12:40-1:30.  All Catholic students will participate and those non-Catholics who would like a special blessing pray are welcome to come forward, as well. Wednesday:  We have mass at 8:45.  Thursday:  The long awaited Science Fair packets will be handed out to the 7th and 8th graders during science class.  The students have until December 13th to turn in the par...
