Exemplary Badger: Congratulations to Joe L. for being selected as our Exemplary Badger for the week following vacation! 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!
March Reading Madness: Today was our first "Drop Everything And Read" event. Students earned the privilege of wearing a fun hat if they read for the full 50 minutes in advisory. In English class, students created unique poetry pages as part of our DEAR event, which will eventually get displayed at our spring celebration of learning. Our school will be participating in "DEAR" each Friday morning for the month of March. Next Friday, March 17th, is pajama day!
Reading Challenge: Students were given paperwork in English class to promote a school-wide reading challenge. Students will need to independently read 500 minutes from now until May 31st in order to earn a free ticket to the Silver Knights baseball field trip in June. Please note: a signature is required for each ten-minute increment of reading time. Unfortunately, if this paperwork is lost, students will need to start over! Congrats to Sophie E., Claire H., Brynn M., Lina N., and Emma C. for already submitting their reading challenges!
Class Updates
Social Studies: Welcome to the Middle Ages! This week we started our unit on Medieval Europe. This unit is one of my favorites as Medieval Times prove to be such an interesting era. We spent this entire week setting the table for what's to come. This upcoming week we will focus in on the early part of the Middle Ages along with researching the Vikings. Have a great weekend!
Science: Students will receive a review packet on Monday for the test on Friday. It will be due on Thursday. There should be a lot of studying going on next week as we finish our Genetics Unit.

Literacy: Unit 9 is complete! Unit 10 begins Monday - and the test will be on March 24th. Students should be working on their Omnictionary projects at home, and Manitowoc students should be researching their Titans! Do you believe it's snowing again? I'm ready for sandals!
English: This week we tackled similes and metaphors within The Giver. Students practiced writing their own similes and metaphors, and they determined underlying meanings when given similes and metaphors. Next week, students will have a reading quiz on The Giver and are encouraged to review chapter 1-10 skills this weekend! Students should also go onto Quizlet to review section three vocabulary words!
Math: This week we will be testing on our proportions unit! Be sure to study and get all the practice work done. We just need to finish up with slope before moving on. Last week students were given their Go Figure for the month. This month they will have to calculate different options for fundraisers and determine the best pick. They are due March 31st.
