Mr. Boehme 7-8 grades Mr. B’s Hive
Classroom note for the 7th and 8th grade families
October 13, 2009
Hymnology to be assigned tomorrow: 203 Lord Keep Us Steadfast Vs. 1 - 3 The hymn was written in 1541 by Luther in preparation for a special Service of Prayer against the Turks. In August of 1541 King Ferdinand suffered a severe defeat by the Mohammedan forces under Sultan Suleiman at Budapest. Prayers for protection against the Turkish army were requested throughout Germany. Book Reports Due ******October 21st ****** 8th grade I Never Promised You a Rose Garden 7th grade Holes This is an area where students need to improve. Time management in reading skills will be a challenge to any student who is not a good reader. To help them, set aside evening time for them to read with you and to you. That way the consistency necessary for success will receive its support in the home. We seldom have time to read in the classroom Field Trip - Thank you to the drivers: Kriste Baroni “Your care, understanding, and willingness made our trip a success. Julie Nelson Without people like you, our school could not be involved in these Rob Maslo experiential learning experiences.”
The trip was a success in several ways. We traveled in complete safety, and we learned information at each of the three places that we did not know before. In each case the site presenters were enthusiastic and that made being there enjoyable. In each case I received commendations for student behavior.
A number of pumpkins were purchased at the first site. As a boy I always had the Halloween dilemma; whether to carve the largest pumpkin into a jack-o-lantern for the evening, or to have pies made out of it. Enjoy the pumpkins.
Gamble Plantation carried the early Florida significance of slavery’s influence and the Confederate support that was a part of our state’s history. It also displayed the use of cisterns for drinking water, and the development of the plantation with its chief money crop, sugar.
Mote Marine was especially interesting and well deserving of being our last stop, because of its wide variety of aquarium exhibits. Oh, and did I mention gift shop? Naturally the sharks and large fish were an attraction, but so were the seahorses, and the giant squid. The classroom instruction compared the care of injured dolphins, how first care centers around, heart beat (pulse) and breathing, and relating that to our experiences when we visit the doctor’s office. 8th grade boys fishing trip - October 3 The trip was a success!

8th grade girls fishing trip - November 14 The boys just appeared to be having too much fun, so we set a date to give the girls an equal opportunity. Mrs. Boehme and I will be on hand to make this a fun and memorable experience for the girls as well. Now all we need are calm seas and willing fish.
P.S. If you would like to receive this via email, please give us your address and we will be happy to make that happen. |
