Exemplary Badger: Congratulations to Alyssa D. for being selected as our Exemplary Badger for next week! To be selected as the Exemplary Badger means that the recognized student is upholding all of the high standards to which the Badger students agreed at the beginning of the year! It means that their behavior is respectful; that they are responsible for their work and their grades; that they are kind!
Grade Book: We have switched our classes for Trimester 2. We ask for your patience, as it could take I.T. a couple weeks to adjust our grade books. As always, please check your student's agenda each night. Core classes assign homework regularly.

Science: This week we will be starting a Cell Analogy Project. The students will have class time to work on it. It is due on Monday, December 19th.

Literacy: Badger students have done a fantastic job learning about the many different ways that our food is produced in the US! They are quite fluent with the terms that describe ecological loops and those that describe monoculture farms! Next week we'll tackle Latin root Unit 6, and the test is scheduled for Tuesday December 20th! We'll also begin work on the famous Omnictionary! Don't forget to do your snow dance, because it looks like we might have some serious accumulation!
