The end of the school year is approaching...

REMEMBER- Your Children's Science Book is due Friday, June 3, 2011.
- We will be walking to Vale Monday and Tuesday, June 6-7, to read to the 2nd
graders.

We will have an end of the year test on Wednesday, June 8. It will cover Properties of Matter and Human Body Systems...aren't you excited to reflect on how much you've learning this year?

"The best angle to approach any obstacle, problem or task is the try-angle."

We just finished learning about the heart and lungs...AMAZING! How did you do on your test?

Now, get ready for GENETICS!!!! We'll do a survey of our genetic traits and learn about Gregor Mendel. So much science, so little time!

Remember, 8th graders have the opportunity to show what they know on the science MSP...let's beat last year's scores! You can do it!

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!
