First Schedule Change.....GRADUATION!

We were busy today in the suite. We are going to change our science test and have an open book science test Wednesday on oceans. Scholars have been working on their Cornell notes and have plenty of information to study and organize. I believe this will be a positive working test to help organize information in their minds. We will begin Newton's Laws on Wednesday also, so that they can start working on their projects for Lagoon.

The Physics Day at Lagoon will take place on the 17th of May. We will all meet at school and then I will need two to three other parents to chaperone and drive. We will leave school around 8:30am. Your ticket will be free for the day if you are an assigned chaperone. If other parents wish to go, you may, but you will need to pay for the entrance ticket upon arriving. Scholars may bring their backpacks with them in their chaperone's car. They will need to carry their project into the park with them. I will have their entrance ticket. All scholars will need to have a ride home at 4:00 pm. Coach, Mrs. Hartman and I will be at the exit gate from the park and we will see to it that all students have rides home. Please be sure those arrangements are made prior to Friday. Permission slips will go home tomorrow.

GRADUATION has been officially moved! Scholars will be graduating Tuesday night May 28th at 6:30 at Alpine Church in Riverdale. Information about committees will come out this week from Mrs. Tracy and the volunteers from Mrs. Hartman's class. There are countless jobs to be done, including  programs, cake and punch, and some minor decorations. We will need volunteers to help prepare the certificates and get everything in order on Tuesday. Stay tuned for more info later this week!

If you get a chance to come up our hallway, please indulge for a moment and take in the Urban Legend projects completed by our scholars. They did a marvelous job and the best of the best are displayed in the hallway.

Today we began separating all of our 3D shapes to build our cities from the novels we are reading. The class is divided into two groups, one for ROTHMC, and another for TKAM. They started sketching their towns and they are going to be very creative! See photos...

This Friday scholars will be building roller coasters for an in class project. They are allowed to bring in any materials they would like to use, but they can not use pre-made roller coaster parts. They may use pieces of scrap pipe, or any of the parts that were listed on the board today. This is an enjoyable activity that gives them a good idea of how hard the high schoolers work to prepare their roller coasters for the competition at Lagoon.
