8th Grade Dordt Research
Eighth grade students went to Dordt library to find materials for their term papers.
Bye Bye Brief Class Pet
7th/8th had a baby garter snake as a class pet for a few days before it expired. Did their request to each have it at their desk the other day traumatized it, or weren't dried bugs sufficient nutrition, or did it die of a broken heart or foul play?
In poetry we recently learned about eulogies, so we wrote the following tribute to Mr. Slither.
An Ode to Mr. Slither
With us a short time
Touched our lives
Skinny as a dime
Avoided Vern's knivesFrom depths of basement
Came to the light
Who is the replacement?
Died in the night
All alone?
Gave life a good fight
Shall we clone?
Math Scavenger Hunt with Avery
Friday for our math lesson, Avery planned a Symmetry Around School scavenger hunt for the 7th grade students. It looked like a lot of fun!
No 2:30 dismissals
A motion was passed at the Jan 4 meeting that we will not be having 2:30 dismissals for the remainder of the school year, due to numerous snow days. For example, January 12 & 26 are now 3:30 dismissals. This will help us make up some of the hours that we have missed due to the snow days.
