I hope everyone is having a blessed Holy Week! There were a few things I wanted to share. First, congratulations to all the students who participated in our Slice of Life challenge this month! I really enjoyed reading everyone's blog entries and commenting on them. We had 8 students in our class who posted at least 21 times, and we'll have a celebration once we return to school. If you'd like to see what the students wrote, you can go here.

Science fair is coming up, and I wanted to clarify a few things. First, the students do not need to do the experiment in class for the presentation. They only need to talk about how they conducted the experiment and what they learned. I was able to see or talk to almost all of the students about their questions before break, but as a reminder, the project needs to be an experiment. This means that there needs to be a variable that should get changed between trials. Also, as I told the students, this should not be an expensive project. There are many things students can do with the materials they have around the house, so please do not feel like you need to go out and buy something. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!

Finally, I wanted to share some pictures from Catholic Schools Week that I realized I never posted. You can see them below.
