Exciting Times

Good Morning FHLCS Middle School community,
We have many exciting things happening in the Middle School. I want to believe that you child is keeping you up to date on all the interesting things that are happening, but they are probably like most Middle Schoolers when they say their day was "fine."
In Bible, we are learning about the Kings. We have seen Saul made some bad choices and watched as the Lord chose David to be the next King. It reminded all of us that God looks at the inside, the heart, and not at the outward appearance. This led to a good Middle School talk and how we treat others. We also saw many similarities about how the this story matches up to the story of Cinderella. Ask your 6th grader how their comparison essay is going.
We have a new class pet. First ask you child about Buster. He is my fake ferret. Then ask them if they have seen the Rainbow Trout. We have 500 trout eggs in the common room outside my class. We will see them hatch and grow a little before we will take them to Hagg Lake. This has come upon us so quickly. I thought we would have them for a few months, but we only have them a couple of days. We will then need to take a Field Trip out to Hagg to release them. The bummer is that we are now gone from school for the next several days and will miss out on a lot of the neat things. I will try to take daily pictures to show the class.
The first parent of a student in each of my classes to respond at the bottom of this post (on the blog site, not the email) will receive 5 extra points for that class. Please let me know one thing they enjoy about the class.
In Science we have started the exciting world of Physics. We are specifically looking at waves, making waves, measuring waves, and learning the different properties of waves. Mr. Munster seems particularly excited as he has many neat toys that we can use in experiments to learn about waves. I am excited to see how the kids learn about and investigate this interesting subject. Ask you student about Slinkies and tell them if you did any neat things with them as a kid.
In History, our students have started to decorate their Sarcophagus. They are excited to draw their faces, add information about their social class, and decorate it with information they learned in the last 2 chapters. When you see them, just look for their (in hieroglyphics).
That is it for me for right now, I will try to update as I watched things at LEST-- take lots of pictures kids.
