Science Expo

Today from 5:30PM - 7:30PM at Willamette University's Spark Center, students will be demonstrating their roller coaster models.

Students are invited to stand next to their engineered projects and be proud of what they have made.

I am very proud of you all!

Replacement Parent Conferences

Dear parents,

I apologize for the last minute notice. As of yesterday, the district has asked teachers to schedule a day of conferences to replace the day that was lost due to the snow on March 22, 2012.

If you would like to conference with me regarding your child’s grades, I will be available on the following days at the following times from  7:00 AM- 9:00AM or 3:00PM-5:00PM. Please make arrangements with me as there are times that I am in a meeting or might be meeting with another family.

Presentations

Thursday and Friday we finished making roller coaster presentations. This week we are completing the write up portion. Students will be quietly writing in class on the three pages to log the data regarding their project.

I hope that you all rest and enjoy the weekend. According to the cherry trees, it is suppose to  be Spring. Hopefully it will warm up soon!

New Due Date For Roller Coasters

HA! Spring break and it snows 4-6"! Not what we all had planned, but such is life.

Roller coasters will now be due on Monday April (2) and Tuesday April (3).  If you didn't complete it already, consider this a gift from God. (LOL) Make wise use of this time and get the project done.

 If you have any questions or issues, send me a comment through this site. 

Rest up and enjoy the time off.

:)

It's Time!!

Time for roller coasters to be turned in! You have from now until 8PM on Thursday (22) before I lock up the room for Spring break. Yahoo!!

Enjoy your time off and I'll see you in April.

Parent Conferences

Parent conferences are scheduled for next week and reminder slips went home with students yesterday.

Wednesday (21)

 8:10AM - 2:50PM       Students attend school
4:30 PM - 7:30 PM       Conferences

Thursday (22)

8:00AM - 11:30AM Conferences
12:00PM - 3:30 PM Conferences
5:00PM - 8:00 PM Conferences

My goal is to keep it fairly brief, since I know that you need to chat with other teachers.

If you have any concerns, we can schedule for a later time when we may meet after school.   

Roller Coasters

Students are well under way to creating this year's crop of roller coasters, and what fun we have been having! Some teams are meeting in my room on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:00pm - 5:00pm to construct their project.

Twelve days to go and all projects should be done. Remember to bring them to school on either Wednesday (21) or Thursday (22) during parent conferences.

Keep up the good work!
