T-Shirts and Garbage Cans

The students in grades 5-8 will be performing a musical/drama extravaganza. The costuming for most students will be rather simple. They will need to wear nice jeans, no holes or tears, as well as a T-shirt. The T-shirt should be the color of their Kickball Kickoff/Track & Field team color. The T-shirt should be a solid color with no printing on it. If your child needs one, JoAnne Fabrics has colored T-shirts for around $5. Students should have their T-shirts at school on Monday, April 11th.

Also, one of the acts needs 7 clean metal garbage cans. They will be hit with drumsticks. Are you willing to donate or loan us one(or more)?

Thank you for your help and cooperation,

Mr. Frisque & Mrs. Prekop

In Christ's service,

LPS Field Trip

The LPS Field Trip is this week Wednesday. We leave around 9:30 and will be eating lunch at LPS. Our arrival back at school will be around 3:15. Depending on traffic, we might not make it back for the 3:15 dismissal.

We have a large number of parents who want to attend this field trip. Due to limited number of seats available on the bus, we will need a few parents to drive to LPS. The cost for the trip for non bus chaperons is $2 for lunch. For those riding the bus it will be $6. Those who signed up from 6th grade to be chaperons are the following: Krutz, Sweezey, Emmrich, Krank, Hopp, Wenslaff, Dziekan, and Spaude.

Thank you for your willingness. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me.

Mr. Frisque

Valentine's Day

Students may bring Valentines for all their classmates if they wish.

Treats are accepted, but we do NOT have a Valentine's "Party".

Any questions?? Feel free to e-mail me.

Research Paper - Resource on the Web

I know that writing a research paper can be an overwhelming experience. I break the project into several smaller pieces. Here is a website you might want to bookmark. It also breaks the research paper into several smaller chunks. It also gives clear, easy to understand directions as well as examples.

Research Papers for 6th & 7th Grade

Well, we have begun the adventure of writing research papers. So far we have explored the different topic possibilities. The research papers must be somehow connected to the Science Fair project. We have also begun searching for sources. The students are required to have a minimum of 5 sources which included 3 different types of resources. Different resources may include but are not limited to the following: interviews, books, magazines, encyclopedias (NOT Wikipedia), internet sites, and videos. The whole research paper will be due the end of February or beginning of March. I still need to finalize due dates.

The students have been instructed to explore Sciencebuddies.org for ideas as well as for help in how to complete both the research paper as well as the Science Fair project. Sciencebuddies.org is NOT a requirement, but rather simply a helpful starting point. It may not help everyone.

God’s blessings on the work ahead!
