Student-led conferences by Katherine S and Sarai R "A HUGE SUCCESS!"
Student-led conferences (SLC) at MHS were a HUGE SUCCESS. We at MHS started SLC this year. We do this so that parents and students can communicate about the students' grades. MHS held SLC on March 16, 2016. Parents got an opportunity to pick times throughout the school day and they had to come in and converse with their children. The conferences were 20 minutes each and in each classroom there were 4 conferences being held at the same time. Lots of people came out throughout the day to talk about their child's grades and feelings about MH school. It was a great day!

Reading Retreat by Alexandra T
The Reading Retreat is a day that only comes once a semester on April 20, a half a day, and a day of reading and before you go and yawn, let me tell you the events of this half-day. Students are given one of the most wanted options, wearing pajamas! There is no need to fear about not owning a pair because this day is about being comfortable! This is a day of reading, that's right, reading in comfort!
Not only do you read, wear pajamas, but you also get to spend time with parents and eat snacks! You may be excited already but there's more! Classes can participate in a door decorating contest. See if your teacher is interested in being noticed for decorating a door dedicated to a class book you're reading. This will be one of the most exciting days for a book lover. Even if you don't read books, then be ready to take some time to relax and read. Who knows, the Reading Retreat may make a part of you JUMP FOR READING!

Cell phones at school by Lissette D. Lezbeydi L.
Should we use cellphones in school? All 6th grade students gave their opinion on deciding whether students should use cellphones in school or not. Many of the 6th graders said yes and fewer students said no. There are many advantages and disadvantages in using cellphones at school. The 6th grade students did a great job on explaining why or why not students should be able to use cellphones at school. The 6th grade students also worked very hard on these essays. They wrote an argument essay about deciding if they should be allowed to access cellphones at school.

Student led conferences Tory S.H and AshleyC
Student Led Conferences and parent teacher conferences will take place on March 16, 2016. The students from K-4 will have a traditional parent teacher conference. The Student Led Conferences will be taking place in grades 5-8. Student led conferences are very nerve racking but very short. In the conferences the students will tell their parents how they are doing in school. The parents and the students will have a conversation and come to an agreement on how to help with school work. I hope you're doing well otherwise, you're in trouble :). Good luck (I think you'll need it). :)

To celebrate Easter, you can win a chocolate bunny for $1 at the MH GEMS school store. Each egg might contain a golden coin. This coin entitles you to win a chocolate bunny. But when you buy an egg, it might not include a golden coin. The egg also can include other items such as a chocolate egg, sticky bands with the shape of a chicken, etc.

Claude Monet paintings ~ Art by 3rd Graders Written by: Amaya R. Jackson Y. Ashely C, Lissette D and Samantha C.
Third grade students learned about French artist Claude Monet. They made paintings in his style, then are working on making lily pads out of clay. The next class they will glaze them. Here is some of their artwork.
Here is some information about Claude Monet from an article on the internet:
"Claude Monet was born on November 14, 1840, in Paris, France. He enrolled in the Academie Suisse. After an art exhibition in 1874, a critic insultingly dubbed Monet's painting style "Impression," since it was more concerned with form and light than realism, and the term stuck. Monet struggled with depression, poverty and illness throughout his life. He died in 1926."
Art teacher: Mrs. Williams
Update: The lily pads are all completed.
