We are preparing for our first ever partially student-led spring conferences. Please fill out the letter that went home in this week's Thursday folders to indicate not only how you want to be contacted but who you would like to conference with knowing that we are asking you only conference with one teacher. Students are creating portfolios to demonstrate their work they are most proud of and work they found challenging. With that said, some of their assessments may not make it home since they may choose to put it in their portfolio but we will send those home after conferences.
Pennies for Patients is going on for the next three weeks. We are collecting money (not just pennies) to donate to help those with Leukemia. Small collection boxes went home in last week's Thursday folders and money can be brought in at any point. Each week we are trying to win a new prize by being the homeroom with the most money donated. Please reach out to friends, neighbors and families to help us raise money. Ms. Welte's homeroom students will switch back to science starting next Friday. We will finish our unit on waves and move on to our last unit - geology.
