First Day of School -- Monday, Aug. 27

Wed, 22 Aug 2007 18:28:51 -0600

Welcome to the 2007 - 2008 school year! We're looking forward to a great year with lots of interesting science labs, some old favorites, and some new ideas.

Open House is now over and we are heading into the LAST FREE WEEKEND! Sleep late, gather your strength and on Monday, we'll be off and running for a new school year.

Check out the links to the left and snoop around the science web site. New this year will be a series of "Scavenger Hunts" for seventh graders to FIND details hidden within pages on the science web site.

School's OUT!

Sun, 10 Jun 2007 20:20:33 -0600

Well, it's over. I'll miss you. Have a great summer vacation and come back to visit me next year. Tell me all about your adventures over the summer .... summer camp, visits to the beach, classes, lessons, travel out of state, you name it!

Don't be sad that the web page has changed. Yes, I have set it up for rising 7th graders for the start of the year. You can handle it! Don't be sad... just keep in touch! Hey, we spent a year together and that means a lot to me. Even though you have to move on to eighth grade, I still want to know how you are getting along!

By the way, check out the new POLL in the bottom right hand corner of the web page and vote for your favorite activity this summer. Remember, I'll ALWAYS be interested in what you are doing and thinking ... so, check in frequently.

Security Hole Plugged

Sat, 09 Jun 2007 08:10:26 -0600

For those of you who have experienced difficulties with the science web site, steps have been taken to block and eliminate the malicious code that was being added to the science web page download each time you visited. The unwanted code has been found and removed. Page loads now occur much faster and no virus links remain.

Thank you for your patience while we attempted to discover the source of the offending code. In summary, the problem has been fixed and you can be certain that the science web site is now free of unwanted downloads. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Newspaper to Go OFF-LINE over Summer

Mon, 04 Jun 2007 23:35:44 -0600

As of Friday of this week, the Cry Wolf Chronicles will go off-line to protect the newspaper during the summer vacation. The front page of the newspaper will be replaced with a single page containing a single blog. You may add comments to the main entry, but the regular blog windows will be unavailable.

It's been a great ride this year. Thank you to all of our loyal readers and web-writers for participating in our web-based newspaper for the second year of operation.

There are 135 pictures, so it might take awhile to load....

Journal Scenes (95 picts) Are Now Available

Wed, 16 May 2007 17:28:01 -0600

Click on the picture above (it's Carrie) to go to the photo gallery which hosts scenes from your Florida Keys Trip Journals. No individual pictures this year -- the scenes were so many and so interesting that I have decided to only create a gallery of art scenes this year. If yours isn't listed, sorry... I ran out of energy. Each picture had to be individually scanned into the computer, cleaned up in Photoshop, cropped, and resized BEFORE it was uploaded. I spent the entire day doing it so.... enjoy.

Florida Keys Photo Galleries

Sun, 13 May 2007 17:51:06 -0600

Seven new Florida Keys Trip photo galleries are now available.

There are over 1400 pictures.

Thanks go to all of those who submitted pictures to add to the galleries... Mr. Gwyn, Mrs. Taylor, Mr. Cox, Mrs. Hinshaw, Mrs. Purdee, and Dr. Bloomfeld. Several students added pictures as well.

The "Labs" page has TWO photo gallery pages since there are over 360 pictures in that gallery.

Click on the picture above or this LINK to be taken to the photo gallery pages.
