cabulary terms and at the end of each quarter have a cumulative test.  Students participate in several hands-on activities such as labs, projects, and group activities.  During the year, students will continue to conduct scientific lab experiments including using the microscope and dissecting.   Each student is asked to keep a notebook of health science terms, science test practice questions, and health science clinical reviews. 

6^th Grade Art - Janene Harry
• The third group of 6^th graders is just finishing the quarter. It seems like they are adjusting rapidly to the "Big School" atmosphere. During this first quarter, they are being introduced to basic art skills: draw light, look at shapes and sizes for proportions and filling color in evenly. The first project was a Bookmark they created and then it was laminated, next was their own creation of an Alien/Monster on large paper and finished with a Mola project. They are eager to learn new things.

7^th Grade Art  - Janene Harry
• They will study the seven Design Elements while in Art. They will do projects for them and will have two tests over the information. Some of the things they will do are: line drawings, color projects, shape and form, applying values to drawings, and hopefully touch on space and texture. They will also have a unit over Clay. They will create a three dimensional project and learn how to fire and glaze their works in the kiln.

8^th Grade Art - Janene Harry
• The first project combined their math skills with their art skills. They started with a circle and could choose from several ideas or create their own. The next project was over 1 point perspective which led into creating a 2 Point Perspective Maze. They also finished a unit over clay. They had to create something three dimensional using the one or more of the three types of construction, pinch, coil or slab.

ART I - Janene Harry
• They started out by drawing their first of nine sketchbook assignments. Each week one is due and it is either an assigned artist or one of their choosing. This helps them develop their drawing skills. They developed a design using three dimensional ribbons and finished them with carbothellos. The Elementary PAC asked them to create a design for their T-shirt/sweatshirt order which the elementary students vote on. A scratch art project challenged their ability to remove the highlights
