Welcome to 4th Quarter Science!
In class this week: This week we will be focusing on bringing Earth History concepts back to Wisconsin. Students will be working on individual PowerPoint Presentations in class this week, as well as reviewing for the science portion of the Forward Exam. An outline of this week's project can be found here. Student presentations will take place THIS FRIDAY during class.
Upcoming Field Trip: As part of the Earth History topics covered in 8th grade science, the Ice Age Trail Alliance along with Ms. Pittner and Ms. Weckerly are planning a field trip to Devil's Lake State Park at the end of the month. Permission slips were sent home with students on Tuesday and are due back by April 18. If you are interested in attending the trip, please note the section for parent volunteers at the bottom of the slip.
