Hey all, I'm still sick.  Your projects are not due until Wednesday!  Thanks for your patience.  Feel free to email with questions.  Please make sure you print a copy of your annotated bibliography for your projects.  Thanks.

The results are in! We are going to have an Oscar Party!  This is going to be fun.  We have created a page on this site called Oscars.  Please check in there for volunteer information, times, dates, etc.  

The 6th and 7th graders will be using the website edmodo.com in their classes this school year. Students were introduced to and used the website last year in science. This website is designed for the sole purpose of being used in classrooms for educational purposes.  It functions as an electronic discussion board on which students may have conversations with one another both in and out of school about their learning. 

Usage agreements will be going home with students today. Please read over the agreement with your child. All signed forms are due to Mrs. Kleinertz by Monday, Feb. 9th. 

The 6th and 7th graders will be going on a field trip to the Adler Planetarium on Wednesday, February 18th. Permission slips are going home today and must be signed by Friday, February 13th. All permission slips should be turned in to Mrs. Kleinertz. 

If you would like to chaperone this field
