This week was Catholic Schools Week across the nation and we celebrated in it a number of ways. On Monday we had the Mayer and a City Council member come and started the week. We got a nice lunch from our Start Partners. On Thursday we had mass with the Bishop and today we will…

Hi there, we had some fun this week! We started with a snow day (which everyone loves) and then got right back into the swing of things. The 7th graders started learning about chordates and will turn my room into an aquarium today (pictures next week), the 10th graders are finishing up evolution by talking…

This has a neat week here at Kearney Catholic. We started dissections today in 7th grade with grasshoppers. We’ll continue next week with starfish. The sophomores are still in evolution but we’ve moved past Darwin into what we’ve learned since. The Advanced students are learning about the skin and the Organic Chem group learned alkenes…

I forgot to post yesterday so here you go. We went back to school this week and jumped right into learning. Biology is starting evolution with two demo activities, 7th grade is looking more at invertebrates and will do two dissections this chapter, advanced bio is studying the skin, and organic is naming alkenes.

Hello all, December starts today! With this last month of the year it is also the last month of the semester so that becomes somewhat stressful for both students and teachers. After my post last Friday we spend the weekend in Kentucky and had a good time with Megan’s family. We even had some deer…

We’re here in Kentucky to celebrate Thanksgiving with Megan’s Family. Her parents moved here this summer and it’s our first time we’ve seen their new house. It’s very nice and it a  great location with lots of land and random animals. It was a little over 12 hours drive time to get here but Megan…

In class we’ve been learning about the various kingdoms, genetics, the brain/nervous system,…
