We will observe, draw, analyze, compare, and classify the crickets throughout our study. Mr. Daniels will use the class digital microscope to look even closer at these structures.

Mrs. Romatz’s third graders are busy working on their digital storytelling projects. They have written stories or reports, are illustrating them, and will soon add their dramatic voice and music recordings to make their movies.

Each student has chosen a letter of the alphabet and a coordinating Alaskan themed item that begins with that letter. They are researching and writing reports about them and will illustrate them accordingly. Then we will send it off to the publisher and have it bound into a real hardcover class book.

There are two ways to order a transcript. Each way serves a different purpose.

If you need a transcript sent to a college or NCAA or a similar agency, then you will need to log on to: www.parchment.com to order transcripts to be sent. The request is then forwarded to SoHi. After processing, it then goes through cyberspace… rather than the US mail… to get to its destination, which is much faster! All transcripts that are headed for NCAA, colleges, etc. have to be processed this way!

Final Transcripts: A final transcript is one that shows your second semester grades… If parents or students order transcripts when the school is in second semester,,, the person who orders the documents will need to make sure to choose “next grading period” when on Parchment… that way the transcript request will wait until the grades are in at the end of the year before it is sent.

Soldotna High School has advanced to Round 2 of the USA Today Best Football Program 2014.
