We did the graham cracker/chocolate syrup activity today on 520-521 in 8^th grade science to represent the plate tectonic plates.  The kids seemed to enjoy themselves and they had a snack during the process. I have even included a pic from my third hour.

7th Week of School

We are going to have a 6^th grade Geography test this Thursday along with a 7^th grade Science test.  Both are on Chapter 2.

Book Fair is this week.

 IOWA testing is next week for the 7^th grade.  Please be sure all students are present, have breakfast and get plenty of sleep.

There are no science experiments next week and no Study Skills Workshops because of IOWA's... Do you think the students in Iowa, take the MICHIGAN?

 There will be a 8^th grade test next Wednesday now (Oct.9^th) on Chapter 14.

 As always the Power Points are on Edline.

We did a wonderfully sweet project today in 7^th grade and different candies.  They had to make a plant or animal cell using the candy… I think I was their favorite teacher today.  Here I posted two pics from two of my earlier classes.

 

Sixth Week of School

Another heart pounding close Michigan game over the weekend… Yikes!  I can’t take it and I don’t know what is going to happen when they start playing Big Ten teams.  Well, at least the Lions won (first time in Washington) and the Tigers are only two games away from clinching the division.

I am thinking 7^th & 6^th grade test next Thursday (Oct. 3^rd)… I want to get them in before IOWA testing which is Oct. 7^th-11^th.  I can do the 8^th grade test the week of IOWA’s since they don’t take them.

There is a $1.00 Jeans Day this Friday and the Cabrini Homecoming is this weekend as well... 7:00 PM.  Go Monarchs!

Fifth Week of School Continued...

There is no school tomorrow.  It is a professional development day for Cabrini teachers.

The new grading software is having some minor conflicts with Edline, however I assure these issues are being resolved.  Also, to be consistent with the High School grades will be posted twice a week (Mondays & Wednesdays).

Have a great three day weekend.  Go Blue!

Fifth Week of School

Wow! Are you kidding me? I felt like I was having déjà vu with the nightmare of Appalachian State all over again but this time it was the Akron Zips; it took me years to recover from that one. Good thing it didn’t go that way and will be an awake up call for Michigan.
