The seventh grade was treated to a visit from Mrs. Darnell. Students used the merge cube site which allowed "Mr. Body" to appear in 3-D on the students table. They were able to look at organs and get information from the image. The students also visited the solar system as shown with the giant merge cube.

Students in 7th Grade science, used a choice board to complete a project on cell organelles. Some choices were a 3-D model, a children's book, a facebook page written from a cell organelle perspective, and a city of cell organelles. Ask your student about their project.

Mrs. Burge reviewed the anatomy of a spider and the spinnerets, which spin the silk for the web. We also watch a time lapse video on what a good engineer a spider can be. We then tried to engineer our own webs out of yarn.

7th grade Science students designed and created Spider Webs from dental floss!

Students in Mrs. Jack and Mrs. Benson's classes completed their first choice board assignments on cells.

Robert L. Bland Middle School From Mrs. Barbo Eighth grade students using Punnett Squares and their knowledge about genetics to create offspring from monohybrid crosses on 8 different physical traits.

Robert L. Bland Middle School From Mrs. Turner What a successful 3 days we have had in PE class so far with our archery program!! The students were taught Monday on the procedures for how the range would work and began shooting yesterday. Can I just say how impressed we are with how well the students are doing!! We have students who have never shot a bow before doing an amazing job!! The students are really enjoying themselves! We even had a couple of bullseyes!! Mr. Randolph and Mrs. Turner have both been trained through NASP and student teacher Mr. Riley, has been a huge help!!

Starts Tomorrow! October 27th and 28th

Great things can happen from small ideas! We had a field trip to LCHS for all of Lewis County elementary students to watch the LCHS Marching Minutemen perform. Here is a big shout out to all those who made this possible. Thanks, Andrea Heath, for your passion to pursue your vision. It was such a needed boost for morale throughout the county for students and staff alike. A huge thanks to Allen Heath, his staff, and all band members for their outstanding halftime performance and for taking their time to introduce and explain the different instruments in turn inspiring the future band members of LCHS. Thanks to all the teachers and aides who organized and cared for their individual groups of children. Thanks to all the staff who stayed behind the scenes (cooks, custodians, office staff and teachers) that didn’t get to attend this event but made sure meals and facilities were ready for the students when they returned. Very special thanks to all the bus drivers who graciously changed or rearranged their plans on short notice to make sure we could get the wheels turning to safely transport over 1,000 passengers to and from this event. A special thanks also to John Whiston and Brian Fisher. It amazed me to see how they prepared the stadium, treated these elementary students as if they were a Friday night football crowd, and listened to how they proudly and passionately addressed all who were in attendance. Also, a shout out to the two guardian angels (Mike Cayton & Charlie Kirkpatrick) standing above the crowd keeping a watchful eye over us all. Last but not least, a special thanks to Dr. Lewis for not just approving this but trusting each one of us to do our part in pulling it off. We are all just one piece of a huge puzzle, but when we are all joined together we make a beautiful picture. Sincerely, Gerry Paugh
