6th Grade: They finished their rockets this week, turned them in for grading and were given their grading rubric grade sheet yesterday, Thursday. They are currently in lesson 5 working on their "Observation Log" worksheet about the planets. We should get out one day next week to fly the rockets.
7th Grade: Working on the third module. Should finish by the end of next week.
8th Grade: They are also working on the third module and should finish next week.
Cross country: The boy's team and two of the girls travel to Normal Illinios this weekend to compete in the state cross country meet. Go Spartans!!
Next Monday is the last practice and the last practice for Mr. Rodda. First, there will be a handicap race for the current runners. Slower runners get a head start and "technically" all runners should finish at the same time.
Second, there is a "Parent/Student Run" at about 4:00. The student runs a mile and then their parent will run, walk or crawl about 3/8 mile. Ribbons will be given to the top ten finishers (if there are that many).
Third, at about 4:30 there will be the "Run with Rodda". All of the team, any former runner and any of the parents are invited to run with Mr. Rodda on his final lap at Lakeview.

7th and 8th grade finished their second module this week. Several of the students need to come to open lab and do make up work for things they didn't finish. Come in soon!
6th grade finished the rockets this week. I had the students take them home yesterday if they planned on spray painting them for extra credit. I gave them a shoe box to put the rocket in so the rockets don't get damaged. Have fun painting them, but be careful. You don't want to put to thick a coat on at one time. Give the rocket some time to dry before puting on a second/third coat of paint.
ROCKETS ARE DUE NEXT WEDNESDAY after the four day weekend.

8th Grade: They finished the third module Monday (5th period) and Tuesday (8th period) and are now working on the fourth module.
Happy Mother's Day to all mom's.

Students needing to do make up work can come to any of the open labs to make up work. Open Labs are: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday in the morning starting at 7:20 a.m. until the first bell at 7:50.

APPLIED TECHNOLOGY-LAKEVIEW JR. HIGH 6th Grade: We are about half way done with our rockets. Once done, I will have the students that want extra credit, take them home to spray paint them. Spray paint works the best. I have had numerous problems with brush paint, so I discourage using that. Some students get really creative with their spray painting, but this is not a requirement either. I will give the students a brief overview on spray painting their rockets. I will also tell them they should have parent supervision. GOOD LUCK!!!! 7th & 8th Grade: they are just about done with their second module and will start their third. Remember: students can do make-up work for full credit, however the sooner they finish the work the easier it will be for them.

All Classes: we started a new Tri-mester last Friday. We are in the middle of ISAT testing and I do not see all the kids each day this week.
Students should have given their parents the PINK sheet from their "Orientation Packet" last weekend. Parents are asked to keep this sheet because questions might arise as their student goes through my class and the answer may lie on this sheet. If you, as a parent did not receive this sheet, ask your son or daughter for it.
Yellow sheets were due Tuesday (or Wednesday) with the signatures on it and the students passwords. This sheet is worth 40 points. These are easy points and you want to make sure the yellow sheet gets turned in as soon as possible.
LAB FEES are due by next Tuesday (March 8th). The fee is $20 and is explained on the "Pink Sheet".
Remember that Parent/Teacher conferences are tomorrow Thursday March 3rd.

6th Grade: They are working very hard on the first module they are doing as individual groups (not as a classroom). This is the third module and should be done by the end of the week (weather permitting).
7th Grade: They are in the third module and should be done this week.
8th Grade: They just finished their third module and are beginning the fourth.
As stated in an earlier blog, we are using new software with a totally new platform than in the past. This has created some issues, but are working through them. Let me know if you have any concerns.
