Classroom Updates
Please remember that while we try to schedule our classes in advance as well as we can, there are always possibilities for changes.
Mrs. Morelock - Math
Mrs. Holtzscher - Band
May 4th is Drum! at the High School
May 16th at 6:30PM is the Band Concert
Students need to be taking home their instrument every day. The band classroom is often used for after school activities, and students should not be leaving their valuables there. All lockers need to have a lock on them, and students should lock the lock even when their instruments aren't in them.
There is an expectation that students practice every night. This is the only way that they will continue to improve. Once students stop practicing, they stop getting better. Please encourage your student to spend at least 20 minutes a night practicing.
Mrs. Sullinger - Science
Next week we will be starting MAP testing, so it will look a little different. Monday and Tuesday I will see hours 1-4 and Wednesday and Thursday I will see hours 4-7.
- Monday: Lab on Conductor and Insulators
- Tuesday: Building Circuit Exploration
- Wednesday: Lab on Conductor and Insulators / 4th hour will continue with building circuits exploration
- Thursday: Building Circuit Exploration
