We are nearly done with 3rd quarter! Next week will be a four-day school week, and the students' spring break will begin that Friday. The school's food drive will be continuing next week. If you are willing to send some canned or boxed food items with your student, all items will be sent to the Ozark Food Harvest which serves families in our area. All donations are appreciated! If you have any questions as we wrap up the quarter, please let us know.

Kindly,

Ms. Hammon and Mrs. Box

Today is the last day to donate to the LLS fundraiser! The class that raises the most money gets to take on the teachers in a staff-vs.-students sporting event, and the 2nd-place class will win a pizza party.

Mark your calendars for Family Movie Night on March 7 to help raise money for this event. We will have a movie, snacks, drinks, and raffle prizes!

From now until March 13, we will be participating in the SPS Food Fight! Students may bring non-perishable food items into our donation boxes in the front lobby, or you can donate online at our Wilson’s Creek Team page.

The All School Art Show will be on display at Brick City, located at 305 W. Mills St! The show will be up through the first week of April.

The middle school opening will be on Friday, February 28th, from 5:30 pm-7:00 pm! If your student has art in the show, I am sending them home with a certificate & a letter with information about the show this week!

Brick City Gallery Hours:

M-F: 11:00 am-6:00 pm

Sat. & Sun.: 12:00 pm- 4:00 pm

Students are reading Ghost and discussing each chapter in class. Students will develop an argumentative paper using skills stating a claim, supporting the claim with evidence from provided texts, and providing reasoning for the evidence.

We will continue to focus on the China unit. Students will be reading and labeling maps and identifying how geography shaped Ancient civilizations. Investigating and researching emperors, dynasties, The Silk Road, and the Great Wall of China will complete this unit. Our next unit is ancient Greece.

Students will be testing on Unit 7 next week. Study guides were sent home today, March 7th. Unit 7 covers plotting positive and negative integers on number lines, absolute value, inequalities, and graphing coordinates.

Students are learning about plate tectonics. The next topics they will cover are landforms caused by plate boundaries, natural disasters, and then transition into the rock cycle.
