Back from Spring Break!

Hope you all had a very restful spring break and a blessed Easter holiday!  We are in the home stretch now with the end of the year fast approaching, but there is lots to accomplish before we enjoy summer.  Seventh grade will be spending the next couple of weeks preparing a presentation on a human body system.  There is lots of class time to get work done, but staying organized and on task will be very important.  See ebackpack or the middle school calendar for due dates.

Eight grade is finishing up a chapter on fluid forces and will have a test on that next week.  We plan on doing lots of hands on activities to see these forces at work.

Week of 3/26

We are starting the 4th qtr this week.  Wow - the year has sure flown by!  Seventh grade will be wrapping up their study of the animal kingdom with birds and mammals this week.  Eighth grade will continue their study of forces, but will now be focusing on the forces that fluids can make (air and water pressure).  We will be doing a lot in the lab so they can see these forces at work.

Week of 3/13

Eighth grade is continuing investigating Newton's Laws of Motion.  We will be ready for a test on Friday of this week.  Seventh grade will be doing its second dissection:  a frog!  I love this dissection.  There is a lot of information online for those of you who want to see a little preview.

The end of the qtr is Friday the 23rd.  With achievement tests next week, there is little time to take care of wrapping things up and finishing missing work.  Check your grades and make sure everything is in.

Greetings from Science Teachers' Conference

Hello students!  Seventh graders - hope the test went well today.  Eighth graders, I hope you saw all of your instructions on the St. Lorenz Middle School site.  I will update all of the assignments on the sidebar also.  No excuses that you didn't know what to do.  I will see you on Monday.  Hope you have a great end to Lutheran Schools week!  Being here with all of these public school teachers makes me even more thankful for the students I have at St. Lorenz.  You guys are awesome!!
