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!
Many blessings,

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

Dear Parents,
THANK YOU SO MUCH for raising respectful, kind and fun-loving young individuals. The retreat went so well last Thursday and Friday. The 48 hour retreat was centered on Pope Benedict's quote, "The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort you were made for GREATNESS!" The kids worked individually, in small groups and in a large group for their activities. The individual and small groups were done with "teams" led by a camp counselor and one of our chaperones. The large group experiences were with the whole 7th grade. It was such a fantastic experience! We are hoping that this will become a yearly tradition. THANK YOUs go out to Michelle Stram, Kristine Jaeger, Diane Neal, Beth Jennissen and Jessica Murphy who chaperoned the trip. The food was spectacular as was the housing we had!
It is a very short week! The kids are working hard on their cell reproduction (Mitosis) project. The project is due Tuesday, November 3rd at the beginning of class. Their self assessments are also due that day at the beginning of class.
Be sure to come and visit with me at conferences. I will be in the gym from 1-8 on Wednesday and 9-5 on Thursday. I look forward to catching up and talking about ways your child can continue to achieve "GREATNESS".
Costumes may be worn to school on Monday. They MAY NOT get dressed or use any type of hair product once he/she has arrived to school. We will have a costume judging assembly around 1:45 in the gym after our costume parade.
Tuesday, we have a living rosary planned for 9:00 in the church. Mrs. Brochtrup and Mrs. Boerke planned this event. We look forward to "walking" through the rosary with the school. Wednesday we get out of school at 11:30. Uniforms are still the attire of the day. We have church at 8:45, per normal schedule.
I hope all is well!
Take care and many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents,
We really only have classes Monday through Wednesday this week. Should be a pretty easy week to move through...
The 7th graders are currently working on their cell reproduction PERFORMANCE projects. They've broken into groups. I am excited to see how they turn out! The projects are due on November 3rd at the beginning of class.
Science articles are due on Tuesday for the 7th graders. If you are curious how many more articles your child must complete feel free to contact me or take a look at mystudentsprogress, as I updated that Sunday.
We leave on Thursday morning for a retreat at Camp Gray. We will be there over night and come home on Friday before the end of the school day. About the only piece of information I know is they are not to bring electronics and they will need a sleeping bag and pillow.
Friday is the end of the quarter! Can't believe the 1st quarter is over already!
Saturday is the annual Halloween party in the gym. The kids always look forward to this evening! I hope you have a great time!
Many blessings,
Kim
