Dear Parents,

I hope you had a chance to view the cell reproduction videos.  We had fun watching them and even had some pretty good giggles!  :)

We started talking about genetics this week.  The kids are in the process of learning about how and why they are made the way they are.  It is rather entertaining watching their "light bulbs" pop on when they figure out some of his/her looks.  We will complete a spongebob activity and some halloween coloring sheets to help solidify their understanding.  The next project (which is individually completed) will be assigned on November 5th and have a fall/Thanksgiving theme.

Conferences are "scheduled" (we don't really schedule for middle school) for next Wednesday and Thursday.  PLEASE be sure your child joins you for the conference.  It is so important for the student to hear about areas of improvements that need to be made, but even more importantly positive points about his/her current status.  The only way to get the report card is to attend the conference.  I look forward to seeing you all!!!!

Have a great weekend and I hope that you enjoy the extra days off next week!  :)
Kim

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...

Dear Parents, The creative juices are flowing with this group!  I love the cleverness of their ideas for this cell reproduction project!  I will share them with you when they are complete.  The videos are due on October 15th (along with the self assessment and their notebooks). We have church on Wednesday.  Things are getting cold around here, so make sure your child has a sweatshirt or a jacket they can put on in case they get cold. Picture retake is Thursday. Have a great weekend!  Ms. Maxson
