Thursday, March 4, 2010 is Open House Night at FLS! Come upstairs to the Middle School Hall and see our Ocean of Learning! We have beautiful illustrations; great facts by the water-drop full; ocean models of the Continental Margin and Deep Ocean Basin!
You will also get to see samples of the work being done in Consumer Science. Do you know if name brand cereal is worth paying the extra money? Which french fry is a favorite among all FLS students? Ever use a plastic bag to carry groceries home, only to have it break. Find out which bag passed our laboratory testing.
Soon, all Middle School Students will become the proud parents of a WHALE! That's right! Students will be receiving notice as to what whale they will get to research and later share with us about their amazing ocean mammal.
The current El Nino and the conditions it has brought truly has helped our learning and understanding of natural disasters like the recent mudslides. Our prayers and thoughts are of those who may have lost a home recently. Now we turn to the people of Chile as they face the aftermath from this weekend's earthquake. Even the incident at SeaWorld Orlando touched us as we study whales like the Orca. Students are finding that science is all around them and happening every day.
Ask your child about measuring out the length of the Orca, Blue, Gray and Humpback whales on the school playground...our non-traditional tool for measuring, non-cooked spaghetti.
Good job MS in preparing your study guide and outline for last week's quiz. Many of you did a super job! Keep up the good work!!!

February Fun
Students have kicked off the New Year by really rocking it on their Science test! It pays to review daily and so many FLS Middle School students earned great grades on their test!
Have you seen the bulletin board of the 6th and 7th Grade students eating their DNA Tacos & Burritos? Or have you read the essays written by our students on cloning, genetics, bioengineering, and considering if there is life elsewhere.
8th Grade completed their Chemistry unit and discovered the elements in our foods and where elements are found in the world around us.
The Middle School hall now has water, water, everywhere! Look at the great maps done with Ms. Palmer and 6th grade students, based on Island of the Blue Dolphins. All students did awesome Ocean illustrations and are busy working on their Ocean Geology models in class.
The FLS Whale trip was sooooo much fun! We saw lots of dolphins, sea lions and going with the entire school 1st Grade-8th will be a memory all of us will carry forever! God is great!
