Students should be turning in their Lincoln Junior High class choices today. Please be sure your student has returned the bright blue form with their selections! The students will officially schedule with Mr. Gault and Mrs. Stauffer on Wednesday here at school.
Also, a reminder that this week is our After-School Movie Night to benefit Relay for Life. This will be held on Thursday, April 10 from 3:10-5pm. It costs $5, but that includes a ticket for pizza, water, and popcorn. There will also be candy and other snacks for sale for $1. All money will go towards our 6th grade Relay for Life project.

PBL Work Time: We had originally planned on beginning our new project dealing with states of matter this week, but in order to coordinate the appropriate resources, we have decided to postpone the launch until next week. This week students will be spending the week learning about the planets and our solar system. Students will be using Discovery Education to learn, read, watch videos, and take notes on the inner and outer planets, the composition of the planets, and compare their revolutions around the sun. Each day we will complete activities to check their depth of understanding and provide them with extensions of their learning. There will be a Common Assessment over this information on Friday.
Also, students who did not pass their Mexico Common Assessment last week will complete a workshop (review) of Mexico and retest today or tomorrow.
HW: Work on Discovery Education notes if needed
