1) Students must bring their band instruments Friday, as we have an extra scheduled band practice. 2) Science fair projects should be at the final stages of preparation.  Students will have 25 minutes tomorrow (Friday) if they would like to use that time to piece their boards together. 3) Students will want to be working to complete their social studies Mesopotamia skits, which will be presented on Tuesday.  Students will also need to hand in their notes on this day. 4) Please hand in your Month Without Walls permission forms ASAP.  That way we can begin to arrange for boating and other transportation. 5) There is a math test tomorrow (students had a pretest today)

1) Please wear outdoor clothes tomorrow and clothes you are happy to pick up garbage in. 2) Please bring a small garden tool so that we may plant our plants from today. Today students had another session with Jesse Wollen.  It was fascinating to see how many students were unaware of whether or not their were any kind of parental blocks on their electronic devices.  I will compile a list of potential softwares parents may be interested in investigating.

After an extremely successful trip, we were fully back in the classroom today. Students will want to make sure that they are prepared for their science fair projects and will want to make sure the experiment itself is complete by Tuesday, April 24th.  Students will then use some time in class to compile their results into graphs/charts and research information to help them write up the conclusion. Today we had a look online for possible experiments.  Below is a link that has some possible ideas from which to draw questions and hypotheses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EelaHwqvB9Q Monday I will post the webs we generated for our upcoming SS presentations (due date most likely Tuesday, May 1st).

Just a reminder that students will meet down at the ferry terminal at 5:50am.  Please make sure you have your ski-wear on (or ready to put on), a bagged lunch, and a day pack.  Students may also want to bring a snack for the ferry as we will be sitting together, not using the cafeteria.  Students are NOT to bring any electronic devices, save a camera.  Students know that any phones, iPods, etc... will be confiscated and returned at the end of the trip in Langdale.  We anticipate good times!! Thanks again to everyone for your support. 😁

Please see the sheet below to confirm what you might bring in your overnight bag.  Please remember that you will not have access to these items until Wednesday afternoon at Tantalus Lodge. Students should also at this time make sure they have procured the items on their individual grocery lists so that their group meal planning runs smoothly.😀 Please also see the itinerary below.

Hello Families of Grade 7s. We are well on our way with the planning stages of the trip.  All students present today have been sent home with a food list for grocery shopping this weekend. Please remember that we do NOT have school on Monday, therefore all items will need to come with students Tuesday, after their three day weekend. Each group must have a cooler and ice.  Please consult with your child and confirm who is bringing the cooler. Thanks so much!!
