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, ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!  Your kids have done a great job so far with the pig dissection.  Their interest continues to grow and their concentration on the task at hand has made all the difference.  I gave them a copy of the study guide for the upcoming test, so hopefully he/she have started at least looking at the information.  That test will be May 20th and its a BIG ONE, so hopefully they will be ready to go when the time arrives! This is our last week of "normal" classes before everything with end-of-the-year stuff is upon us!  Please keep an eye out for the principal updates each Friday.  He does a great job of giving the upcoming activities happening at school. Have a great week!!! Many blessings, Kim

Happy April Fool's Day!  :) Can you believe we are all ready to enter APRIL?!  I hope that spring break went well for everyone.  It was a much needed break and I am sure that the 7th graders were ready to relax after all the science fair hubbub!  :) We will be finishing up the MAEAR project they are working on in science.  Those are due at the beginning of class on Wednesday, April 10th, along with the self assessment.  After that project, we will start the virtual pig dissection.  This year we're able to set up the computer program on the Chrome Books so the students can work on it independently.  We start the actual pig dissection after Easter break. I look forward to a great spring!  I can't wait to see the school play this upcoming week! Take care, Kim

Dear Parents, We are counting down the days to 2 important dates:  March 7th and March 14th. March 7th (Thursday of this week):  ALL parts of the science fair are due.  Students must turn in the SIGNED rough draft/final copy of the paper, eye-catching poster board and a prepared presentation.  These are all due Thursday by the end of class. March 14th (Thursday next week):  7th and 8th graders will be in the gym all afternoon talking to the school students about his/her projects' outcomes.  The 7th and 8th graders will then come back from 5:55-7:45 in the evening.  All parents and former students will be joining us in the gym.  I will be sending an update via email shortly.  Have a great week!  Please never hesitate to reach out if you have questions or concerns. Take care, Kim
