Dear Parents
I can't believe as I sit here writing this that they are saying there might be snow tomorrow evening! I am so ready to get outside and get my hands a little dirty in that garden of ours! Guess I will be waiting a little longer.
This week:
The end of the quarter is Wednesday. Report cards will come home the following Friday, April 4th. You can always keep up with your child's grades by logging into mystudentsprogress.com and take a look. If you are unsure of how to log on, please email me and I will send you more specific directions.
There is nothing else special going on this week. Lots of projects, etc... will be due sometime this week so that they can be added to 3rd quarter grades. You may want to visit with your student about that as I am unsure for most classes.
The stock market game the students are playing in business education class is going really well. The students seem to enjoy working with a mixture of 6th, 7th and 8th graders. It is fun to watch their interactions and listening to the discussions. They sure have learned a lot through this game and through this year's experiences in this class.
SCRIP still seems to be an unused opportunity by most. I would encourage you to try it just once to see how easy it is.
The pig dissection is drawing near! We will begin with a virtual dissection using the computer program called Froguts. We are hoping to use the ipads, but are unsure at this time if we may just use the computers. We will start the virtual pig dissection on April 7th. I am so excited to see this class work through this annual experience. The 8th graders are really helpful in "talking up" the experience to help lighten the fears and disgust! :)
Have a great week and many blessings,
Kim
