We are winding down this 9 weeks. Finish strong.
6th Grade Health-We will finish the unit on Drugs, Alcohol and Tobacco this week. The Unit Test will be on Thursday, March 6th and the review will be done on Wednesday. Folders with daily work will be taken up and checked on the day of the test. The guys are also working on an information phamphlet about alcohol, tobacco and marijuana which is due on Tuesday, March 11th. The Health Packet that they have been working on the entire 9 weeks is due on Friday, March 7th. You can see that next week is a very important week for things that need to be completed and turned in for grades. Plenty of home time and adequate class time has been given to get all these things done. A few people have still not turned in a signed permission form to participate in the Human Growth and Development Unit which will start on Friday, March 7th. These need to be returned by Thursday, March 6th.
7th & 8th Grade Physical Education-The guys have completed Fitness Testing and the girls have finished Basketball. We will be starting a unit that includes Angleball for the boys and girls and then Handball for the boys and Indoor Soccer for the girls. There is some concern in the conduct and stretching grades for too many of our 8th graders. Most of them do well in our activities, but they have a hard time getting started when we want to and putting forth adequate effort during our warm-up time.
