Happy Thanksgiving!

First trimester is coming to an end this week. It has been great working with all of the first trimester health students. I look forward to meeting the new second trimester classes next week! I hope that everyone has a wonderful, relaxing Thanksgiving break!

wrapping up the trimester...

I cannot believe that the school year is a third of the way over... time flies when you're having fun! Health classes are wrapping up for the trimester, but we are still doing some fun things.

The sixth graders have been working out of the "I can Do it!" workbooks. They are excellent books that talk about character traits and being a good person. We have enjoyed reading the stories and relating it to our own mental and emotional health.

The seventh graders are doing a unit on safety. We have covered basic home safety, outdoor safety and what to do in the case of a natural disaster.

The eighth graders are hard at work on "The Real World" projects. They are quickly learning how hard it would be to be a teen parent trying to make it on their own. They are researching how much apartments cost, what a car payment looks like and investigating the costs of baby supplies! I have heard MANY students say that they are very appreciative of all their parents provide!

Veteran's Day

Enjoy your day off on Tuesday! Remember to thank a veteran for making our country what it is today!

With only two weeks left in the trimester, things are starting to wrap up in health class.

Sixth graders have completed the body systems unit and are starting a short unit on adolescent growth and development.

Seventh graders are continuing a unit on sexual assault prevention.

Eighth graders are continuing work in the Gameplan workbooks. They will be continuing those throughout the week.

In the last week, MANY student grades have been updated. Please check the parent connect website for your child's current grade.

Remember, with only two weeks left it is incredibly important to get all late and missing work turned in!
