Science Expo, 4th Quarter

Today is the start of the 4th quarter. So, you know what that means, Grades are due on Wednesday. Luckily for me, I'm pretty much caught up on all my grading (pretty much responsible for my lack of posts the last 2 weeks or so).

Since the quarter has started, I feel I need a change. I think that one of these afternoons this week, I'm going to rearrange my classroom. I think the students would appreciate a change.

Last Friday was the Billings Deaconess Research Clinic Science Expo. Essentially it is the Eastern Montana Regional Science Fair. Anyway, I took 5 students from the school, 3 6th graders and 2 7th graders. I believe they had lots of fun. They didn't win any awards, but I do hope they enjoyed themselves. The highlight of the fair had to have been the full size T-Rex skeleton. I'm assuming it was not the real thing (too valuable), but a casting or a replica of some sort.

Lastly, there is another ski trip scheduled. Yup one week from today (March 27th). I don't think the students need 2 ski trips in a school year.
