TECH ED Mr. Mike Homan, Teacher
Page 4 SCMS Hawkeye
Things have been busy as usual down in Tech Ed.
6th grade classes are finishing our moose project
and they should be coming home soon. We will
soon be moving onto another small shop project
and then will begin a video assignment. In our
Transportation class we have been learning about
multi view drawings and will soon be starting our
CO2 car project. This project has all of the stu-
dents excited as we will race the cars upon com-
pletion of the project. Class champions will square
off in a winner take all race between all three clas-
ses. May the best car win! In 8th grade tech ed we
continue to work on individual shop projects. There
are some nice project being made right now in-
cluding benches, picnic tables, night stands, ta-
bles, and a very nice truck, these students are
working hard and doing a very nice job. All classes
will continue to work on our current projects as we
look to finish them up before the end of the year!
Christian works on staining his moose
Brayden works on sanding his table
8th grade students work to complete their projects
Transportation classes made 19 wood duck houses
this year! They will be providing homes to many wood
ducks this spring .

Sixth grade students have been participating in a March Madness competi-tion in homeroom over the past several weeks. This week’s challenge involved building the tallest free standing tower possible using only a cup, paper, index cards and paper clips. In Ms. Schmidt’s
homeroom, the tower was 105 centimeters tall!
Reading/Language Ms. Jennifer Schmidt, Teacher
Sixth Grade ELA
Sixth graders just finished a unit in which students read biographies, wrote poetry, and designed projects about biographies and autobiog-raphies. We will be continuing with literature discussion groups in our next unit and are reading novels that have an environmental theme. Our next major writing assignment will be in-formative.
Sixth Grade Wish List As the year is starting to wind down, the sixth grade teachers are finding that there are some students who are coming to class without the needed supplies. Please check with your stu-dent to see if he/she needs: pencils/pencil lead, pens, erasers, loose leaf paper, a folder etc. Making sure your child has the supplies needed for class can go a long way in helping his day go smoothly and ensuring that she has the tools needed to be successful in school. We appreciate your help!
The 7th grade science stu-
dents have been studying de-
composers like fungi and bac-
teria. They have also been
investigating genes and the
traits they show. Are you a
roller or a non-roller? We will be studying
food webs as well as the cells, tissues, or-
gans, and systems of various invertebrate and
vertebrate animals for the remainder of the
year. If you like digging into your
work, you’ll enjoy the dissections
to come.

GRADE MATH
Ms. Laura Mielke, Teacher
Page 7 SCMS Hawkeye
Students in 7th grade math are in the middle of a Geometry Unit where they are
measures, and calculating volume and surface area for various geometric shapes.
They are also learning how to use a compass, protractor, and ruler to precisely con-
struct and measure triangles, as well as many other types of polygons. Class con-
versations have centered around where students see and use Geometry in their
daily lives to help them make connections with the skills they are learning!
