Friday Life Skills Lesson / Homemade Stromboli Lunch
Please send your students to school with $2 by Wednesday that will be used to buy ingredients for stromboli, and each student can make a personalized stromboli. We'll let the dough rise throughout the morning and cook the stromboli for lunch.
I also plan to show them how simple it is to turn the dough into cinnamon rolls (among other things), and maybe we can have cinnamon rolls for an afternoon snack.

Friday from 10:30 -11:30 AM the 7th grade class will be going to Sandy Hollow. Sunday Ford will give us the second part of our gun safety lesson.

Google accounts email
Hello parents of 7th graders,
I enjoyed these first couple of days of getting to know your child in our classroom.
School board member Mr. Van Bemmel was able to create school google accounts for 7th and 8th graders, and students logged in for the first time today. All of their accounts end with @hprcs.com, and Mr. U, Mr. DeBoer, Mr. Van Bemmel and I have record of their user names and passwords. Students are able to access their accounts at home for homework, or at school for classwork. Mr. DeBoer and I will use the accounts throughout the year for online word processing, slides, submitting assignments, and more.
As in other years, I cautioned students to use this technology in ways that enrich their lives and glorify God. Feel free to get a copy of their user name and password from them for your records.

March 16 Update
Dear Parents,
Report cards and Iowa Basics results will come home with your child Wednesday afternoon, the 20th.
Feel free to contact me if you wish to have a conference next week.
A majority of the students are doing as well academically, as God has given them talents. A few of them have grades that imply poorly done, incomplete, or missing assignments, or not studying effectively (or at all) for tests or memory work. Mr. DeBoer and I often offer students ways to improve their grades by redoing an assignment or test, or doing extra related work. If a student is not motivated to do those things, his or her grades will reflect this.
In Christian love,
Mrs. Baker

Hello parents,
We will be three-fourths of the way through the school year as of this Friday. It has been a joy working with your seventh or eighth-grader this year. I look forward to seeing the seventh-grade parents at conferences this upcoming Thursday and Friday. Don't forget that Thursday is an early out, and Friday is a half day of school.
