Making A Public Announcement

Hi Parents,

Over the next couple weeks, we are creating short videos to help incoming students next year. Your child should have brought home a permission slip to allow them to participate. We are looking at topics:
  • How to open your locker.
  • How to purchase your lunch with your school ID.
  • How to take Cornell notes.
Hopefully this will make attending middle school not quite as daunting.

Check out the cell models!

Wow! Kids turned in incredible models that show just how creative they can be.

I am very proud of them.






Why not try to make one yourself?

Edible Plant or Animal Cell Model

Finally! Yes, finally we are to this point in the year when you will be making your models. In class Monday, students will first choose which type of cell they want to make. Then students will draw a picture with of all the required parts are labeled with both the correct name and what type of candy they will use to model it with.

All models will be due Friday (20). After the models have been graded, students will be responsible for "disposing" of them properly.

If you have any questions, post them here on the blog. For sample ideas, visit past students projects.

Remember the criteria for what your model MUST have.

Trip to the Wetlands

 According to Weather Underground , it is suppose to be partly cloudy on Tuesday. Bring an extra pair of shoes so that you do not get your school shoes all muddy. Hopefully it will dry off the day before.  :)

If when Tuesday rolls around and it is threatening to rain, we might have to cancel and reschedule for another day.

Cross your fingers!
