How to do the Pretzel

This dance move is a more advanced step, but I found this video that does a pretty good job teaching the step.

Dear CTE students,

Posted on March 26, 2014 by Ms Emily

Dear 7th graders,

Today you had your Blend Tec trials. I am writing to express how proud I feel at your independence and team work. You were innovative when items were forgotten, you worked well as team players, and you made some incredible inventions. (I am currently eating the potato soup. YUM!) I hope all had a good time. If you have suggestions for trying this activity out one more time before the year is out post them here.

Ms. Emily

March 10-14

Posted on March 8, 2014 by Ms Emily

Tuesday: PE finish filling out dance cards for dances 4,5,6,7&8. (Everyone together)

CTE: Finish filling out ‘Charting Your Future’ & make assignments for garden prep and setting up outdoor classroom.

-MAKE SURE PERMISSION SLIPS ARE TURNED IN FOR TROUT FARM-

Wednesay: Ms. Emily is attending a conference so students can choose Personal World time or free choice time in the sunshine. CTE class time will be used to execute the assignments given the previous day. Students may want to dress to be working in the dirt. We will be leveling the outdoor classroom and could use a few extra sturdy rakes.

Healthy Relationships Discussion will take place in the library from 1-2:30.

Thursday: -click on the trout to get a link to a map to the trout farm-

Parents are in charge of getting their students to and from the trout farm. If you need help with driving arrangements contact Melinda Montgomery, our wonderful room parent, at melmont30@gmail.com

Students can be dropped off between 8:30 & 8:45. Please plan to pick them up by 2:45. The cost of the field trip is 3$ which the students will be paying individually directly to the trout farm to cover the cost of fishing privileges. No fishing license is needed.

We will be observing how the trout farm raises fish and connecting their system to the life cycle of fish, catching a fish, dissecting and studying it’s anatomy, grilling the meat and utilizing the beautiful iridescent skin for an art project.

Friday: NO SCHOOL! (It’s a professional development day, but feel free to drop off chocolate dipped strawberries if you find yourself bored without school)
