Chemistry Vests Due Tomorrow

A quick reminder that tomorrow is our Chemistry Fashion show in the LMC.  A detailed description of the assignment is on Mr. Scully's website.

Each student needs: 

1) A garment to wear

2) Some headwear

3) A written narrative, written in 3rd person

Permission to stay up late

As per Mr. Scully:
Watching Cosmos on Fox tonight is an acceptable reason to stay up past your bedtime. Awesome, AWESOME, show with some incredible science concepts. 

This, of course, can be voided by mom at any time.

ELA Student Teacher

Dear Parents,
I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that we have a student teacher working in our class until April 29th of this semester. Mrs. Julie Ogiba is a student at Niagara University, and has begun working with the students. Together her and I are developing lessons, and I am still in the classroom at all times. As her time her progresses, I will be handing over the reins of the classroom appropriately. She is doing a great job already, and the students are receptive to her methods. Please look for a letter of introduction coming home within the next week.

Thank you and have a nice week.


P.S. Sam McGee extra credit assignments are due March 28th.

Chemistry Fashion Show

Students received their assignment today for the Chemistry Fashion show, which will take place next Thursday, March 20th

For this assignment, students need to make a vest which features any element off the periodic table. From there, they need to adorn their garment with the requirements.  They also need a piece of headwear, and a written 1 paragraph narrative.  A copy of the assignment is on Mr. Scully's webpage, and attached. 

A gallery of last year's students is also on my website.  

WEB Leaders

All 7th grade students are invited to apply to be a part of the 2014-2015 WEB Leaders.  Informational meetings will be held on March 27th and March 28th in F4 (Mr. Scully's room) during 7th grade lunch. 

Students MUST attend one of the lunch meetings in order to pick up an application.  They will receive information about the program, the application process, and hear the mandatory dates for the upcoming school year. 

The program is VERY selective about the students that are chosen based on grades, teacher recommendations, and the applications that the coordinators receive.

Any questions, have your student ask Mr. Scully or Mr. Johnson. 

Science Test

Thanks and nice work to our student teacher, Miss Targus, who has been with us for the last 7 weeks! She valiantly took us through the solar system and the adventures that go with it.  

As she wrapped things up before she left, we're ready to be assessed on what we've learned.  Our next science test will be on  Wednesday, March 5th

Students made a foldable in class today, and they can use it on the test if they have it filled in. A study guide also went home. I would highly recommend filling the foldable in.....

Starting Thursday, we're going to be working on the building blocks of life: Chemistry
