Salvino Switch

The winner of the Salvino Switch was announced this week!  Our own 6C student, Cooper D, is going to be principal for a day next Friday!  And Mr. Salvino will be a student in Cooper's place!  I can't wait to have Mr. Salvino for science and to hear all about what being principal was like!  Way to go Cooper!

A few science updates...

We took our Igneous Rocks Quiz yesterday in class and students are getting them back today.  They are welcome to complete Fix It Forms (corrections) on these and may turn them in through next Friday.

Our second grading period ended last week so we are officially over half way through the year!  Report cards  are coming out today so be sure to ask your child to see it!

Also, just as a heads up, I'm also changing how I enter our Bell Work assignments into the online gradebook.  Instead of making a new assignment each week, I will now enter them all into one assignment that will be updated weekly.  I'm keeping a hard copy of who doesn't turn theirs in weekly so I can tell your child what they may be missing if they are unsure.

I was also made aware of a really interesting contest called the Young Scientist Challenge.  This is a national competition where students brainstorm an idea to a real-world problem and made a 1-2 minute video about how they would solve the problem.  I passed out a page on this last week to anyone interested in submitting an idea and also have the link to the website on the My Links page on my website if anyone is interested in more details!

Finally, the Salvino Switch is on here at school!  Students can buy tickets to become principal for the day and Mr. Salvino is a student for the day!  Tickets are sold in homeroom and at lunch and will continue to be sold through this today!  Good luck to everyone who entered and hopefully I'll see Mr. Salvino in class!

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Happy New Year and Welcome Back!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year!  It went by fast but we are back at it!

We started off the new year with our School Resource Officer, Officer Sturia, coming in to speak to us in science today!

6A and 6C joined together and listened to a presentation from Officer Sturia on respect, vandalism, bullying, along with some other topics.  We watched two videos, one was a very touching story about a boy named Matt who finally found his place and good friends on his high school football and basketball teams.  The other video was about how to be accepting of others and was created by high school students.

Thank you for coming in!!
