7th Grade Honors Science
We are starting our largest, cumulative project for Unit 2 on Tuesday 12/6. Please click here to see the information the students have already received about the project. Students will be doing their Final Test of the project on Monday 12/12 during 2nd hour (8:29 am - 9:23 am). The students and I would love it if parents/guardians joined us to watch their presentations! You will need to check in with reception at the office where Mrs. Bixler will meet you at 8:25 am and walk you to the test site (bleachers) to join us. Please email Ms. Buchheit and Mrs. Bixler by Friday 12/9 at 2:00pm at the latest to let us know that you plan on attending so that we can coordinate with the office.
- The day of the final students will be completing a mini project reflecting on this semester of science and the science and engineering practices. Please make sure that your student is here the day of the final (Monday the 19th for period 2) as this project will be included in their semester grade.
Tiger Time
During the Tiger TIme advisory period on 12/7, students will be instructed to write a reflection on this semester, given specific prompts. Students will be expected to bring home their reflection papers to discuss with parents/guardians and receive a parent/guardian signature. If the students discuss the reflections with parents/guardians, receive signatures, and return their papers to Ms. Buchheit by 12/9, we will be able to have a small celebration during our last Tiger TIme on 12/14. Please be on the lookout for an email from Ms. Buchheit regarding the celebration.
