The 7th grade students have worked very hard the past few weeks on their Topic 1 projects for math. Handmade Item - The students needed to design and create a handmade item to sell. During this process they needed to calculate how much it would cost to create this item, determine a selling price, and calculate when they would begin making a profit. Obstacle Course - The students needed to design an obstacle course with at least two challenges and describe the elevation change as they run the obstacle course. They needed to research building material costs and generate a budget. Exercise Video - The students filmed a five-minute exercise video that included at least 12 exercises sets. Their sets needed to include walking forward and backward, and they needed to model their progress from their starting position using integers.

This morning the Little Wildcat Playgroup is in full swing, having story time with Mrs. Malueg!

This week in World Cultures students enjoyed empanadas, an authentic dish from Guatemala. Students will try dishes from around the world prepared by their classmates as they learn about different cultures throughout the semester. Mrs. Brockman will put all their recipes together into a book that each student will get a copy of at the end of the semester. Yum!

This week US History I students had the opportunity to get in touch with the past as they examined artifacts from the Revolutionary War courtesy of The American Revolution Institute. They had a great time looking at and trying on some of the items!

5 tips to make brushing and flossing fun! Let kids pick out their favorite soft bristle toothbrush. Popular toothbrush companies make brushes with medium and firm bristles, so read carefully to avoid those! Toothpaste comes in many fun colors and flavors. Check the ingredient list for fluoride, hydroxyapatite or both to ensure it's designed to harden tooth enamel. Using a toothbrush timer ensures they brush for 2 full minutes, plus timers come in many shapes, sizes, colors and some even have a suction cup on them. Floss picks come in a variety of colors, sizes, disposable, reusable, silicone, plastic and biodegradable. Kids love being independent so floss picks are the easy answer. There are many great books, videos and songs that make learning about teeth, toothbrushing, flossing and getting their teeth cleaned by a dental hygienist fun. Check online or your local library. Bridging Brighter Smiles provides preventive dental services to students inside the schools so there is no lost time from work or commuting for families.
