I hope all you students enjoyed your day off from school on Friday. I enjoyed meeting many parents at conferences last week. If you parents and guardians didn't get a chance to stop in, e-mail me at tena.nelson@fairfieldsfuture.org, and we can set something up.
Here's what is happening this week in room 101:
6th GOAL: This is our final week of preparation before the Jefferson County Science Fair on Saturday, February, 23. Display boards are due on Tuesday at the end of class, and we'll spend the rest of the week practicing our presentations and getting ready for judges' interviews.
7th GOAL: Students will be working hard on National History Day projects this week. We have websites, performances, documentaries, and exhibits all in the works. History Day is one month from Tuesday, so the deadline is quickly approaching!
8th GOAL: Students finished researching last week for Images of Greatness. This week, they'll be taking all they've learned and writing a historical paper about their Image of Greatness. Papers are due Friday.
8th Critical Concepts: After taking a week off from career explorations to complete the Design-An-Ad for the Fairfield Ledger, students will be presenting their posters and career information to the class and then to another group of students in a career fair-type setting.
Also, don't forget to mark your calendars for this year's musical, The Little Mermaid, Jr. It will be presented on February 28 & March 1 in the FMS Cafetorium at 7:00 pm. Admission is $2 for adults and $1 for students, and activity passes will be accepted. Bring the whole family to enjoy this fun show and to support the kids' hard work!
