Sometimes, there’s November rain. Sometimes, there’s purple rain. This week? There was January rain. Both campuses went from arctic tundras to swamplands in a simple 10-20 degree change of temperature. So, it was a cozy week with as much outdoor time as we could squeeze in- weather permitting. Please see details about Aimsweb for 8th.
English w/ Mr. Rouse –
- Upcoming Tests/Quizzes- We will take Aimsweb on Tuesday, February 4th.
- We continued our reading, questions, and discussions for Howl’s Moving Castle
- We continued to work on dialogue (I’ve been doing it with most of my classes.), and I made 7th do a dialogue writing assignment following a conversation between two unlikely people.
- Did Unit #3 of vocabulary.

Science w/ Mrs. Farris –
- Upcoming Tests/Quizzes – no test or quiz scheduled
- Teams finalized their experimental designs—a challenging task in preparation for our grow date next week.
- Students then compared Earth’s soil to the Moon’s “soil,” discovering that the Moon’s surface material is called regolith.
- The regolith consists of fine dust, broken rock fragments, and tiny glass beads, all formed by constant meteorite impacts.
Music w/ Mrs. Chelsey –
- This week we focused more on matching pitch and controlling where our voice is when we sing, as well as energy and volume. We worked on a rhythmically challenging section of “California Girls” and continued to the next part of The National Anthem.
- Our music journal entry this week was “Is there any style or kind of music that you don’t like?”
