Frost Chorus On Tour!

Mrs. Farej’s Chorus classes are on tour today at our elementary feeder schools! They’ve worked really hard to put on a good show for the younger students in our district!

The Mystery of Energy

Students in Mr. C.’s science class have been presenting their glogs on alternative energy. Hop on over to the website to check all of them out!! http://frost.sd54.org/mrcscience

Ms. Wood, Ms. Fewer, and Ms. Farfan’s classes are in the process of reading a “Who Done It” mystery novel! They will be assigned to different characters to help solve the mystery as they read through the story.

Work Hard, Playbills!

The 8th grade Math students are hard at work on their high school placment tests this week. We have seen really great effort from many students. Keep up the good work and keep studying!

The 8th Grade Language Arts students just finished reading the play version of The Diary of Anne Frank. Students have been listening to the play for the past two weeks, responding to significant quotes from the text, and taking the perspective of an actual Holocaust victim by writing diary entries from their points of view. Students are excited to watch the movie next week where they will be able to compare and contrast it with the play!

Location, Location, Location…

7th grade language arts classes are working on their final writing assignment of the year! Students will be researching locations that they are interested in or natural disasters that they want to learn more about. They are due May 18th!

Clean Energy and Spartan SHIELD!

Students in Mr. C’s Science classes have been working hard researching different forms of alternative energy and how these forms of clean energy would benefit a city such as Schaumburg and/or a school like Frost. We are taking our new-found knowledge and creating Glogs (online interactive posters) to be published on the web! Students will present their glogs to their classes and we will use our research to reccomend specific types of clean energy for Schaumburg or Frost.
Stay tuned in next week to see all student glogs on Mr. C.’s website! Students will also be writing persuasive letters to Ms. Davidson or Ms. Mussman (our local state representative).

Miss Griffin is working with students in FROST SHIELD to discuss issues in bullying and to create a positive atmosphere for all students. A quote SHIELD lives by is, “If you don’t stand for something right, you’ll fall for something wrong.” Today they made “Warm Fuzzies.” This is a fun way to spread positivity and to raise self-esteem.

Frost Community Garden and Speech and Hearing Month…

Frost Community Garden Press Release

Better Hearing and Speech Month – “Connecting People through Communication”
Language and literacy are always hot topics and are high on all educators’ priority lists. An easy way to improve and enhance these skills is to provide your student/child with a language-rich environment. This will vary from household to household (or classroom to classroom) but is as easy as turning off the TV for an hour and engaging in conversation. Reading a book together and posing “what-if” and “why” questions is a great way to promote critical thinking and inferential skills. Becoming better communicators allows us to connect better with people – a gift that is truly invaluable!

Gems, Grease, and the new Frost Shield!

The girls of GEMS club have their Lego Robots up and running! This week the robots learned how to come when the girls voice called them, back away when the girls held their hand up, and turn in a full square. Mrs. Corriveau and Ms. Shroyer are very proud of their future engineers!

Ms. Bostrom and Ms. Wood would like to congratulate the entire cast and crew of GREASE! You put on an amazing production and we could not be more proud of you! There will be an end of show celebration next Thursday after school in the cafeteria.

Spartan Shield has started! It is a safe place to discuss issues like bullying, self-esteem, and making smart choices. Any students are welcomed to share their stories and to enjoy yummy treats! This week, Frost Shield will see videos and read stories on bullying. They will also decide what they want to do with the club to help change the school!
