State Test Retakes: May 20-22

Soon notes will be sent home for parent signatures allowing students to retake their state test in order to either score better or higher. We are working on putting together an after school study group, as well as included snippets in class for those who are not able to stay after school.

Stay tuned!

Why do I need to eat well or get sleep before state testing?

Why? I am SO glad that you asked!

If you do not get plenty of sleep and rest, it will negatively impact your test scores.

Plan wisely. Eat breakfast, at home or school.

Bring a snack with you.

Give yourself every opportunity to succeed!

Crater Lake: The Big Picture

If you get a chance, you need to stop and see this incredible place! It's on my bucket list.

Crater Lake: Day & Night Time

Life Science: Evolution

Students are studying the process of "evolution". We are not discussing it in a manner that would be considered anti-religion,... simply viewing the "evolving" portion that takes places in so many aspects of life and in the creation of things.

We are making comparisons to how cars evolve over time to meet the need of humans, as well as how humans have evolved in order to survive the environment in which they live by analyzing adaptations, competition, variations and overproduction.

I hope that all parents view this as an opportunity to talk and listen to their child, learning what they think. Students have heard me say that it is very important that they talk, think, observe and question the world around them so that they are able to justify and validate their opinions, rather than furthering the opinions of someone else,.. this teacher included.  :)
