Welcome to Sahuarita Middle School! As Sahuarita Jaguars we GROWL. We are in our last 18 days of the 2nd Qtr. We will be finishing up our unit on the Human body systems. Next we look at systems of plants. We will also be reviewing classification and adaptation of animals to be better prepared for a special visit from the Zoo Mobile. For the 2009 2010 School year I will be using an additional webpage. The site is from Quia.com I am still learning how to utilize this fully. For now check it out at http://www.quia.com/pages/stelles/page1 I have a couple of assignments and activities that students may complete online. Thank you for visiting me at Teacherweb. We continue to collect box tops. Keep clipping and sending them in!!! Previous Messages... Our Field Trip to the T.C.C for the Math, Science & Technology Expo is coming up Nov. 6th. I have updated the assignment log page with current info about the assignments for the 2nd Qtr. Happy Fall!! I hope you are enjoying the fall break. Students should not empty their files completely. We are still working on the cell webquest and the parts of a cell wk pgs 22 &23. Those 2 papers need to be in their files for the 2nd QTR. Students should also have their Science notebook with only Science Cornell notes inside. ***REMINDER: Our school is collecting canned food during the week that we return.

After midterm students were instructed to clean out their old papers. We turned over our assignment logs and start with a new no. 1 See Assignment log tab to see the what new assignments should be in their folders and grade log. ***Grade print outs will be sent home again in about a week.
