| Rice NW Museum of Rocks & Minerals |
We had a great field trip to the Rice NW Museum of Rocks and Minerals! Thanks so much to all of the chaperones who helped make it a successful visit! Regarding grades, I updated Renweb early Friday morning last week. A few students turned in a few assignments later that day, but other than that, the grades that show in Renweb right now will be the grades that will appear on report cards unless missing work or corrections are turned in this week (see "Topics to Talk About" below). Make it a great week, everyone!

Science Lab Assignment: Rock Collection Project
Our science lab instructor, Mrs. Swain, assigned the students a Rock Collection Project, which is due on the morning of Wednesday, March 21st. Each student should collect at least 8 different rocks or minerals in order to identify them. The students must NOT know the type of rock or mineral collected (it would defeat the purpose of attempting to identify it in Science Lab). Please use an ordinary egg carton to collect them, numbering the carton spots #1-8 for the rocks or minerals to be placed in. If anyone has extra egg cartons at their house, please bring them in for students who do not have one to use for collecting. This has already been explained to the students in class. Thank you, and please direct any questions to Mr. Riedl or Mrs. Swain!Puberty Talk
Each year, the 5th and 6th grade classes schedule a talk with the students (boys and girls separately) regarding adolescence and general changes to expect. This year's Puberty Talk will be held on Thursday, March 22nd. You should have already received a permission/email notification from our school nurses. Please read their message and if you do not want your child to attend, you may reply to them indicating that you wish for your child to be excused from this talk. If you do not respond to their email, they will assume that your child has permission to attend. Please feel free to contact me or the school nurses if you have any questions.Other School-wide Events
Be sure to read the WHCS Weekly News to learn more about other school-wide events at West Hills Christian School. It is emailed to the entire school regularly on Fridays. Thanks so much!Teacher Contact
