5th and 6th Grades
First of all, we would like to welcome
our new student, Michael Pitka, to our class and to Marshall.
March has been a busy month for all of
us, with the annual dog races and tournaments in Marshall and the surrounding
villages. We have managed to keep most of our concentration in class
by doing a project in social studies and science. In social studies,
we are studying the countries of the world. We have read and answered
questions on Africa, Morocco, Canada and Australia. We also drew the
flags and a map.
In science, we are studying the human body,
and we also drew life-size outlines of ourselves. Now we are labeling
the important parts and functions of the human body.
We have been working on units of measurement
and multiplication in math.
In English, we are exploring with fast
writing to get ideas flowing for future papers.
Since spring has decided to arrive early,
we wish all of you a happy and very safe spring.

Richard's Classes
The Junior High class is currently studying
about southern Europe in Geography, and in Language Arts they are practicing
their composition skills,
The High School Shop class is engaged in
a variety of projects, such as making benches, stools, shelves, and
towel racks. The school shop has acquired a variety of new hand and
power tools which enable the students to more effectively complete
their work.

Guy's Classes
Much of our regular program has been put
on hold recently because of our students that are involved with the
basketball tournament.
The algebra students are studying simplification
of exponential expressions. The geometry students are solving problems
dealing with inequalities in triangles.
The physical science class is doing activities
with light and lenses, specifically with real and virtual images.
The human biology and health class is dealing
with projects centered around non-communicable diseases.
In their arithmetic classes the 7th and
8th graders are doing problems with scale drawings and solving proportions.

Frank's Crazy Classes
In American History, we've been studying
President FDR's New Deal and World War II. I wish more people would
do their homework.
Earth Science has been examining a lot
of rocks lately and doing a few "rocky" experiments. Interesting that
chert and flint are both sedimentary rocks. I didn't know that. Did
you?
In Journalism, we are working on this Easter
paper, albeit at a snail's pace. We just finished doing an "abstraction" exercise
on the novel Fire on the Mountain by Edward Abbey. We also finally finished
putting together our Christmastime Tales book. We've been dragging
our feet on this one for a long time.
Russian Language has been "fun" lately
with a lot of practice with the accusative and genitive cases. But
that's all the new grammar we'll be studying this year.
