brought to you by Hannah and Corey

It’s been another fun week in 7th grade!  I’m greatly enjoying getting to know all my students, their bright & humorous personalities, and their many and various talents.  Hannah and Corey summed up our week of academics wonderfully.  Friday, we also had the opportunity to watch Mrs. Murray and the 8th graders display their scientific designs in The Rocket Launch!!  Definitely some high flyers and some duds, but hopefully a lot learned along the way.  The 7th graders are looking forward to next year already.  I am looking forward to my 4th year out at Camp Wartburg w/ 23 Jr. High Students this year!  Awesome!!  See you at 8am bright eyed and bushy tailed!

 Have a Blessed Weekend (stay warm!),
