Dear Parents,
I hope you each received the email I sent out midweek. There are several students who are really struggling with grades this quarter. We don't want to end the year on a low note. Please be sure to check mystudentsprogress.com on a regular basis.
The pig dissection is going extremely well! I will be taking some pictures and sharing them soon. I am so proud of each student. Their interests seems picqued and each are determined to complete the dissection successfully!
A flyer came home about "THE HUNGER WALK" that will be happening on May 6th from 9-10. ALL students will walk for the hour in hopes of collecting donations for each lap. All donations will go to local charities. Feel free to come out and cheer us on as we walk around the school.
Many blessings on a great week!
Kim

Dear Parents,
What a great play the crew put on for us on Friday night and Saturday afternoon! Congrats go out to all who participated and thank you to all the parents who helped coordinate the week's worth of practices and performances!
The week has finally arrived.... pig dissection is finally here! If at all possible, please try to have your child in attendance during science class each day for the next two weeks. I want them each to have as much experience as possible. Classes are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 8:20-9:00 and on Wednesday from 12:40-1:20. It should take us about 2 weeks to work through the dissection. If you are interested, you are MORE THAN WELCOME to stop by and check things out!
I hope all is well with each family this spring! The students are ready to start counting down the days... I told them I wasn't sure we were ready to do that quite yet! It is hard, but help me keep them focused on all we have to accomplish before the end draws near!
Many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents,
Are you tired of this wacky weather? I am ready for the sun to shine and the winds to subside! :)
The students have been working hard on their virtual pig dissection. I am very impressed by their interest and look forward to seeing how the "real deal" will go. I think we will aim for next Monday as our start day. The binders are due on Thursday of this week, with completed virtual dissection sheets. If he/she finishes early, the class period may be used as a study hall time.
The school play (a week long adventure) happens this coming weekend. The performance happens on Friday night and there is a Saturday mid-afternoon matinee. If your child isn't interested in performing, there are "behind-the-scenes" opportunities.
Report cards came home on Friday. We will start talking about the various opportunities for electives next year. Your child should be asking you to sign their sheet, please ask about the form if you haven't heard about it by Thursday.
The 7th grade is in charge of graduation each year. PLEASE join in the fun and support our graduating 8th grade families by being an active participant in pulling off a memorable evening. Everyone is required to get involved, so please keep your eyes open for opportunities.
Many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents,
Well, I think we saw all 4 seasons this weekend! Strange weather! At least on Sunday, it was beautiful!
The virtual pig dissection seems to be going well. I hope that the kids have shown you what we are working on each day. Feel free to have them log on at home and show you what we are accomplishing. The actual pig dissection will probably start mid-week next week. You are welcome to stop in and check it out.
Report cards will come home on Friday. We are heading into the ending stretch of the year!

Kim

Dear Parents,
I hope that everyone had an absolutely wonderful Easter week. I am so grateful for the "downtime" and am ready to hit the "ground running" into the end of this year! Can you believe that I can say that? ...end of the year! Crazy, time flies when you are having fun!
3rd quarter ends on Friday. There are many students who still have several outstanding assignments, please help me keep each of them focused going into the last quarter. It is amazing how quickly grades can drop due to incomplete or missing work. We struggle to assess students if work is not turned in to us.
We are starting the Virtual Pig Dissection this week. The program is found online and it will be completed at school. There should not be any reason students should need to work on this outside of school, unless he/she miss days of school. Our actual pig dissection starts around April 11th. If there are appointments, etc... scheduled from April 11th - April 25th, please try and schedule them outside of science class time. It will make completing this part of the curriculum much more helpful.
Have a great week!
Many blessings,
Kim

Happy spring!!!!
I hope everyone remembered to "jump forward" this weekend! I was blessed by all the helpers I had show up on Saturday to work in the garden! We accomplished a lot! Thank you to everyone who came to help!
Don't forget news articles are due this week on Thursday!
We have a great St. Patrick's Day celebration on Thursday with a Irish Dance presentation! It is at 9:30 in the gym.
Friday we have families (planned by Derrick and Ethan H.) and then will go as families to walk through the Stations of the Cross in the church. Feel free to join us if you can! The afternoon will be spent completing our Jump rope for Heart activity.
I hope everyone has a blessed Easter week off! Know that you all will be in my thoughts and prayers during this time of celebration!
