Congratulations to both Jared and McKenna who competed in the Jr. Ritchey Science Fair at Weber State University yesterday. Both received honorable mentions, $1000 scholarships to Westminster, and Jared received the Excellence in Engineering Award. Well done both of you!!!!
Today we dug into our microbes unit and began learning about immunology. We are currently studying fungi, molds, bacteria and viruses. Don't be surprised if students start snooping around in your fridge looking for specimens! :) While studying today we learned about the microbes in ice cream....after we cleaned our desks with Clorox we marched across the street to celebrate Jared and McKenna and have ice cream together.
Scholars are writing poetry this week and next week. They will not have essays due. BUT they should be working on their term research paper which will be due upon return of spring break. They have been working with Mrs. Pockrus learning the MLA style and proper citations. They should be writing at this point and asking their final questions so they can type them either before or over the break.
The math test that was originally scheduled for next Thursday has been moved to Tuesday, and the history test on the Latin American Revolution will be Thursday. The quarter ends this week and I will be working on report cards to go home with scholars Friday, or early next week. Please send the envelope back once again.
The Grandiloquent Guardians Forensics Team will be having a Nationals Trip Meeting on Thursday the 28th right after practice. Scholars will be notified this week at practice. Please plan to attend if you have a scholar who will be participating in Nationals.
On to fourth quarter! Wow times flies!
