Cell Phones: Just a friendly reminder that cell phones need to be turned off AND put away during the school day. Students should not be using their phones during classes, in the lunch room, bathroom, or any other place during the school day!
Gum: Another friendly reminder that gum chewing is prohibited at school. We are seeing more and more students chewing gum throughout the day. Please keep the gum at home!

Class Updates
Social Studies: Students continued their research and discussions on the Crusades as we continued to relate what is going on in the world to what we're talking about in class. On Thursday, the students wrote an in-class essay on the historical impact of the Crusades and did a terrific job! This upcoming week we will discuss Medieval culture and prepare for our next mastery assessment. Have a nice weekend!
Science: In Science this week we learned about the six different types of fossils. Student did a great job of making their own fossils. Ask your students to share their fossils with you. Ask them how to explain each type. They should also be able to explain how the way that they made them is similar to how they are actually created in nature. Next week we continue looking at the fossilization process.
