Jan 2011

To all parents:

We are needing your help in January. Your 8th grade students may have already came to you about your household electric bill. They spent the week before break calculating their home electric consumption for the month. They are to check with the bill payer to see how close the estimate was to the actual consumption. We will close this unit with a discussion of how they can help conserve energy at home, and at school.

Our 7th grade students will be continuing their Auto C.A.D. design projects. We started with cubes and poles, and have moved up to a Judges Gavel, and now they are using what they learned to design their own furniture.  I will be taking 5 student with me to a conference at Florissant Valley CC to display what they have learned, and to teach the regions Guidance Counselors about GTT.

Our 6th Grade Computer Technology Students have finished  their PowerPoint Presentations about them.  Mrs Fajatin and I have learned about everything from Lil Boosie being a common favorite celebrity, to Pizza and Wings being the overwhelming favorite Foods.

As always, please feel free to follow along, or to post on the blog and I will update you in January.  All students enjoy you Winter Break, and Happy New Year! We will see you on January 5th. 2011.

Mr. Muska
