6th grade parents,
All of this information has already been sent and posted on the middle school blog, however, I thought I would send all attachments this one last time in preparation for our departure Monday morning from Penn Brook (students should be dropped off by 7am!) We are getting excited for the trip!
The time has finally arrived! Students and staff are very excited for the “school away from school” experience. These are the last items of interest, we promise!
1. Students need to report to the Penn Brook Cafeteria at 7 am Monday morning and check in with their homeroom teachers so we can depart at 7:30 am sharp.
2. All medications need to be given to the students’ homeroom teacher (original packaging mandatory), preferably in a Ziploc bag with child’s name on it.
3. Access to phones on site is available, therefore, no cell phones or electronics (ipods!) are needed at Kieve.
4. Buses will be arriving at GMHS Friday, March 13 about 2:45.
Equipment list:
sleeping bag or 3 blankets and 2 sheets hats/gloves
a heavy outerwear jacket flashlight (optional)
2 towels snow pants
camera (optional) socks (many!)
pillow toiletries
boots or hiking shoes warm clothing(layers)
Mini Melts ( Dippin Dots) are coming to Georgetown High School on Wednesday, March 11th. Come enjoy a treat after school and during Dodgeball. SADD ( Students Against Destructive Decisions) is sponsoring Mini Melts.
Attention Parents off 8th graders: On Monday, March 23rd, there will be a breakfast for eighth grade students and their parents in the high school cafeteria between 7:30 am and 8:00 am. The breakfast will be followed by a Guidance Department presentation focusing on high school and, especially, ninth grade curriculum, from 8:00 am to 8:30 am, in the auditorium. We will then return to the cafeteria in which tables will be set up for each of the academic departments (English, math, science, social studies, and world languages). Department heads, administrators, and guidance counselors will be available to answer questions that parents may have.
A letter regarding an upcoming teacher retirement:
Dear Mr. Lucia,
My name is Cheryl Lachnendro, and I teach 4th grade at Penn Brook. One of our long time teachers is retiring in June, Casmera Tagliamonte. She taught first grade for 20 years at Perley, and after coming to Penn Brook has taught 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. I was wondering if you could include this in your system of communication to parents and students that asks students/parents who know or have had her for a teacher to share a special memory with Mrs. Tagliamonte, give her a best wishes message, or a note of thanks to her. People who are interested, could drop it in an e-mail to me either at chewalsh@aol.com, or lachendroc@georgetown.k12.ma.us. I will compile these for Casmera in a memory book. I greatly appreciate your help.
Sincerely,Cheryl Lachendro(Grade 4 Penn Brook)

To all registered participants of the 3rd annual spelling bee: please make sure you are at the GMHS auditorium by 5:30 tomorrow evening. We are looking forward to a great event!
Middle School Jazz Band is cancelled for this week. We will meet again on Wed. March 11 at 2:30. Please see Mr. Kaminski this week for practice CD's.
From Mrs. Lyon: Middle School 6th, 7th, and 8th graders are well underway in there computer classes. Sixth graders are focusing on their keying skills. We use a program called MicroType in school and Dance Mat Typing (a free keying site they can use to practice at home). Students are also given access to www.gamequarium.com a web site which among many other things offers several free keying programs and games.
Seventh grade students are brushing up on their keying skills by warming up at the beginning of each class with MicroType. Students will participate in a private classroom blog that will focus on the reading they are doing in their English class. This will give students the opportunity to use technology directly with their core curriculum.
Eighth graders warm-up each class by practicing their keyboarding with MicroType. We will be focusing on using applications such as PowerPoint, Word, and Excel by doing projects that relate to their core curriculum. Their activities and progress will be tracked and communicated through a private classroom Wiki.
If you have any questions or concerns feel free to email me at lyonm@georgetown.k12.ma.us

Mrs. Hickey- All classes:
Sorry about yesterday’s blog- I don’t know what happened. Apparently you got an old message.The only homework students had last night was to get their Earthworm Responses lab report signed.Having it signed counts as an assignment. Students who did not get it signed already should do so tonight. It counted 4 times toward their lab average. I wanted to let you know that I am in the process of correcting the Planaria quiz and hope to have them returned to students by this Friday.
TONIGHT: Students have an “Echinoderms” worksheet to complete. It says “Review and Reinforce” on top.
NEXT WEEK: There will be a quiz on echinoderms on Tuesday, March 10th.
Mrs. Schauerman: SCIENCE: Complete the Sea Star diagram & the Echinoderm Study Sheet. MATH: Make a scale drawing of your bedroom. Please use proportions to show your calculations on a separate piece of paper. The drawing should be drawn neatly on graph paper with a ruler & should include:
Title
Labels
A key that shows the scale
Actual dimensions of your room should be included as labels on your drawing
Add your bedroom furniture drawn to scale in the correct locations of your room
Mrs. Girard: Parents: Please ask your student if he/she handed in the project that was due on March 3rd (yesterday)! I still have 8 students (!) whose projects are not done! We had three FULL class periods to work on the assignment last week which is more than ample time for the research. Students just had to put the information into a travel brochure, they have the requirements. This will count as a test grade and I would hate for students to receive a zero on a test grade—it will result in many changing from passing to not passing status. In a pass/fail class I find that unacceptable. I need your help—please be sure your student hands in the work! Gracias!
