Dear Parents,
Happy week after Thanksgiving! I hope that the weekend held family gatherings, fun and food! Being the week after Thanksgiving means we have CRAFT DAY on Friday. If you haven't sent in your money, please do so soon. THANK YOU to all who volunteer in anyway to make it a successful event!
We accomplished the goal in collecting over 3000 items for the local St. Vincent DePaul food bank. THANK YOU so much for your generosity!!! The 7th graders even won one of the competitions we had!
Thursday is the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the students from grade 3 up to grade 8. The 6-8 graders will go after lunch on Thursday.
I hope everyone has a great week!
Many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents
This is the week of Thanksgiving! That being said I need to tell you how thankful I am for you and your support of me and this class. You have some amazing kids and I am grateful to have you each in my life!
The genetics projects are due at the end of class on Monday, November 23rd. I am looking for the project and the self assessment to be completed and turned into me.
Don't forget the Thanksgiving feast on Tuesday. I am ready for some yummy turkey and mashed potatoes! There will be an assembly in the afternoon.
Many blessings and LOTS of thankfulness!

Dear Parents,
I hope that you had a great weekend! I know the Badgers had the weekend off and that the Packers lost (frustrating to watch), but MY COWBOYS (Oklahoma State, that is) won! We are 10-0... crazy! Wish I could be there to watch the next two games, but I will have to settle being able to actually watch them on TV! :)
I hope the kids had fun at Prize fest on Friday. We earned over $41,000 for the magazine sale! Thank you all so much for your part in that fund raising opportunity.
The students received their project guidelines for the genetics unit. I am anxious to see what they each decide is the theme he/she want to use to create his/her "family". The project is due at the end of class on Monday, November 23rd. They have class time to work on it this week.
There is nothing in the schedule that should disrupt our "regularly scheduled program". :) I hope you all have a great week!
Many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents,
This week we honor those who have served and protected us throughout the years. A HUGE thank you goes out to former and current military and their families! I am so grateful for all you have done to help ensure my freedom.
Our very own, Becky Iverson, will be the guest speaker for careers this week. We look forward to hearing about her past employment and current job situation.
We started our food collection last Friday. The 6th graders are competing against the 7th graders for a prize. The teachers are competing against the 3rd and 4th graders. It will be more meaningful if the students purchase some of their own products to donate (just an idea). We are looking for anything from shampoo and diapers to mayonnaise and canola oil. We are counting by package not by weight. Friday is hat day. If a child wants to wear an appropriate hat they can pay .50 and wear the hat throughout the day on Friday.
The cell reproduction projects were awesome! I love the various creative ways that the students were able to "preform" the process of cell reproduction. We are moving on to genetics. The kids will work independently in the upcoming project.
Prize fest is Friday afternoon. The students will also enjoy the annual pig race.
I hope you all have a great week!

Dear Parents,
November is HERE! I hope you remembered to set your clocks back on Saturday night and enjoyed that extra hour of sleep! If you didn't make it to tonight's mission at St. Dennis, please join us for tomorrow session from 6:30 until 7:30. It is in the church with lots of worship music, a testimony and some follow up from Fr. Randy. Its a great time to continue to build that 1% challenge Fr. Randy has talked about at mass.
Conferences went well. I really appreciated the opportunity to tell you how things are going with your child. If you were unable to come to conferences, please let me know if you would like to touch base. I am at school by 7am each morning and would love to set up a time to catch up with you and your child.
The cell reproduction projects are due at the beginning of class on Wednesday, November 4th. I've heard some rumblings about these performances and I can hardly wait to see what they've been up to in their learning of the cell reproduction process. The self assessment is also due at the beginning of class on Wednesday. The groups will perform their projects on Wednesday. Thursday we start talking about genetics (one of my favorite topics in 7th grade).
The school food drive begins on Friday. Please start sending in those donations as soon as possible. I know there will be some competitions throughout the collection time. As a school, we are hoping to donate at least 3,000 items to St. Vincent DePaul food pantry. Thank you in advance for your generous gifts!
I think that is about it for now. Please, as always, if you have questions, concerns or comments, I am ready and willing to sit down with you.
Take care and many blessings,
Kim
