SCIENCE RALLY- a HIT!

S-C-I-E-N-C-E! :-)
Way to go everyone!!! Even though technology failed us, we still had a successful pep rally. Cheer team (Eddie, Shalena, Julian, Kristen, Sierra, Fernie, Josh), -you rocked it! Our event became a team effort and I really apreciate your enthusiasm to go 'Above and Beyond Expectations'. Your research and written summaries were great; Santino, Sierra, Julian, Cameron, & Jenna from Mrs. VF's class. Kristen's clever play about Newton, played by Josh was also a success. The test tube mascots were EXTREMELY creativeFernie, Adel and Gustavo . We'll have to come up with another reason to use the costumes again.
I'm proud of all you! What a great class we have. Enjoy your weekend!

Happy Weekend!

I hope you had a great week, full of learning opportunities. Great job with Math MAP testing. So far, everyone has increased their scores. :-)
I found a link to the show, "Flying Alaska". It's amazing to see how different life is there! 

Next week as we near our Science Pep Rally, is there anyone interested in sharing a quick how to come up with a creative and original idea on the announcements with Mr. McConnell starting on Monday? 
If so, comment below. YAY SCIENCE!

Tip from 2011 Google Science Fair Finalist    
Daniel: In regards to choosing a project idea,  
"Get the idea from something you are interested in. If you do not really have a passion for your topic, the project will not be much fun. It also helps to know a little about your topic beforehand, so that you are not researching something completely alien to you."
