District Science Work Samples

We are beginning to read about forms of energy. While in this section of our textbooks, students will be assigned a period of 5-7 days over the next couple weeks, during which they will be learning about this year's challenge. At the end of this time, students will create their work samples during class time.

Students will be constructing a Rube Goldberg contraption with a specific goal. They are encouraged to use materials from recycling or that can be found at home.

More information will continue to be sent home.

Test Retakes

Parents, some students need parental assistance in regard to properly studying. For some, they do not realize that in order to do well on a test that they need to spend more than 5-10 minutes.

Please encourage them to study for 20 minute periods with short breaks in between. Any student may retake any test provided they have:
1. Studied. Too many are just retaking the test with no improvement.
2. Sign up for the retakes so that I know how many students I am preparing for.

Together, we make a good team that will help your student be successful.  :)

Test retake: April (4)

Students should have brought home a slip of paper letting parents know if they needed to stay after school Thursday (4) in order to retake the chapter test that was given March ( ).

For some students, Thursday's test will be their second attempt at passing the test. During class, we discussed the importance of re-evaluating how one studies if they continue to not pass. This is a good life skill that students need to be learning.
