We are beginning research on a disease or health career today! Students have a rubric and an outline for this project, and can work with a partner or individually! Posters will be due Thursday, March 31st!

Thanks to all of those wonderful parents and community members for helping with Science Night! Even though the numbers were low this year, there were lots of fun and exciting opportunities for those who made it! Thanks!

We have an assessment coming up this Friday..."Understanding Digestion!" Students will receive a rubric for this on Friday and create a poster that will be due on Monday!

It's time again for 8th grade science night!
Wednesday, February 16, from 6-7:30 pm, 8th graders come to CMS to learn about science in our community!
Many exciting experiences await, as well as extra credit points for attending!
More information to come!

Winter Greetings! (technically, Fall greetings, but it is snowy and cold!)
Our first notebook check of the 2nd quarter is due TODAY! Please see me during lunch recess for a friendly reminder to turn it in! :-)

From now until December 17th, we'll be working on our cube research projects, as well as continuing to study elements, compounds and mixtures! Yeah, CHEMISTRY!!!

Progress Report Day...yahooooo!
Here's how your points add up so far!
Don't be alarmed by the little stars on your report...they mean "excused" or "not graded yet."
Do be alarmed by lots of ZEROS! Come to studyhall during i-Period or before or after school if you need some time to catch up!

Ok! We had our first Science Notebook check today! Many 8th graders are on-track with their assignments so far, and a few need a little more time. Today were looking for COMPLETE answers on the work, as well as titles, dates and page numbers! Check your family access this weekend to see how you're doing!
If you get something done that was not done on Friday, SHOW ME AS SOON AS YOU GET IT DONE! I CAN ADD IT TO YOUR POINTS!

We will check our notebooks approximately every 2-3 weeks!

Welcome Back Chieftains! It's so good to be starting a new school year! I am excited for you all to be here at CMS!

Please use this blog to keep up on deadlines and things to come. You can also email me if you have questions or concerns about anything!!

We will be studying MATTER in science to start the year. Do you know what MATTER is? How would you define it? Why do we need to learn about MATTER?

See you tomorrow!
