10.10.10 One Day on Earth Project

Students! Don't forget about the 10.10.10 project this weekend! Remember, you MUST do the project on THIS SUNDAY, October 10th. You may do ANY of the projects in the packet I gave you today, but the ones with the stars next to them might be best suited for you. Use a photo camera or video camera to document your project/activities. Students going to the Race for the Cure on Sunday, be sure your electronic devices are CHARGED and ready to rock by tomorrow night.

I am so excited to see what you all create and have a feeling that I will be very proud of how enthusiastically you all embrace this amazing global project!

Off to the Biosphere 2... science is calling! Have a fun and safe weekend and DON'T FORGET ABOUT 10.10.10!!! :)

Lauren the Turtle Likes Pizza

Oh and how could I forget Lauren the Turtle, who wins a special place in the heart of Paseo Hills for eating an ENTIRE pizza during the SAME school dance. Go Lauren!!! (and hey, get that stomach tapeworm checked out, k?) :) You rock!!!

First Dance of the Year!

Paseo Hills 7th and 8th graders enjoyed their first dance of the school year last Friday and I was on hand to help out and take some photos and video... enjoy!

Volcano Webcams

This week, while learning about igneous rocks, we naturally got onto the topic of volcanoes. Here is the link that I mentioned where you can go online and view volcanoes LIVE from government webcams... post comments if you see anything cool!
