Wow, January is already over. The month has just flown by, with the students this week starting their new explorations class.
PE- today the students split themselves into 2 groups, with 1/2 staying inside for 2 days with Ms. Waring, and the rest trying out cross country skiing with Mr. Martin. A special thanks to the students of Green Team that spent a few hours last week reorganizing the skis and boots and poles into buckets and making it easier for everyone to find the right sizes.
Science- According to the reviews this week, Mr. Martin is due for a nasty hair cut. Any students who get 100% on the test tomorrow and/or Thursday will become "nice" barbers (I hope) Eyebrows and eyelashes are off limits, but the rest if fair game! Don't forget to study the KMT, Changes of State, Density problems, Metric system, chapter 4 definitions, evidence of physical and chemical changes.
Parent Helpers- Thanks to the 3 parents who have agreed to bake some treats for the Valentines dance, and the to 1-2 parents who agreed to help with the concession. We really need more helpers, especially for counting the money from ticket sales on the afternoon of the dance.
Socials- Mr. Martin's class should be done 4-5 of the illustrations and writeups for the transiton of early man from Hunter Gatherer to farmers to city dwellers. We are finished watching all the videos for it. If they missed an episode, they can go to http://documentarystorm.com/stories-of-the-stone-age/3/

Just a reminder to both classes that there is a Science test this week. Likely Wednesday for one class, and Thursday for the other. As an added incentive, anyone with 100% gets to give Mr. Martin a spring haircut. Caution, with the little hair that I have left, the "bald man" is going to get very picky on the answers. All students should be able to
-recite the Kinetic Molecular Theory
-be able to explain density, miniscus, and chapter 4 vocab
-be able to draw and label the changes from solid, to liquid, to gas
T-Shirts: be sure to let your homeroom teacher know if you want a Green Gecko team T-shirt. We'd like to get the orders in late this week.
