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.

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!

Mathletes Away!

Frost Mathletes are preparing for their big competition this Saturday, May 5, 2012 at Mead Junior High! The competition is from 8:30am – 2:00pm. Let’s wish them all great luck! Don’t over work those brains too much!

Dropping Tokens

Students worked to create machines that would protect eggs being dropped from the roof of the school!! Check out the video from the 2012 8th Grade Science Egg Drop! www.frost.sd54.org/mrcscience

In Miss Griffin’s math classes, they are using TANNER TOKENS to keep them motivated and to teach them about saving money and working hard.

Order Up!

Today during science periods, the 8 Blue vs. 8 Gold Egg Drop will take place on somewhere on the north side of the building. The eggs will be dropped from the roof. If you would like to make yourself some scrambled eggs, bring out a frying pan. Some students will more than likely crack some eggs open for you!

In Miss Griffin’s math 710 classes, they are finishing their own menus. In math 710, they are designing their own rooms!

It’s Showtime!

The chorus just had an AWESOME rehearsal for their concert tomorrow night at SHS. Ms. Farej was so pleased with the sound. 165 students came together and produced an AMAZING sound! Good luck tomorrow night!

The 7th grade Language Arts classes have finished up “Fracturing” their Fairy Tales. Now they are using their scripts in groups and will be acting out their plays on Friday. Students are working together and are being very creative with their lines and props! Everyone in Ms. Brace, Mrs. Letts, Ms. Peters, and Mrs. Rinaldi’s classes will try to see who will win an “Oscar” for their acting skills! Break a leg!
