Hello! My name is Ms. Kailee Klein. I am a recent graduate from the University of Mary with a bachelor's degree in music education.
I am originally from Wahpeton, ND. Music has been a passion of mine since 3rd grade when I started playing piano. In middle school, I started playing the clarinet and never stopped. I am also passionate about choir, musical theatre, dance, and above all, my students. I strive to provide a positive environment where every student feels successful. I am excited to start my journey as a music teacher at Turtle Lake - Mercer where I can inspire all ages of students through music!
When I am not busy playing music, you can find me with my family and friends. I enjoy the summer and spending my time outside in the sun. I like to camp, go for walks, and be on the water. During the winter I enjoy getting cozy and watching movies, doing puzzles, and playing games.
Next week there will be no after school tutoring on either Tuesday or Thursday. There will be tutoring on Monday only. Please plan accordingly. Thank you.

8th Grade FACS Chili Cook-Off! The 8th graders researched and found a recipe, went to the store to get their ingredients, and made their chili! A panel of judges scores each chili based on presentation, smell, flavor, texture, and overall impression. The two recipes were Sweet & Spicy and Family Favorite, both were delicious! The winner was….Sweet and Spicy! Questions to ask these 8th grade cooks: how did your team work together to find your recipe? What part of the project did you enjoy most? Would you make your chili recipe again?

The sixth graders have been learning about chemical reactions. They conducted an experiment with an egg and vinegar. They put an egg in a beaker of vinegar and let it sit overnight. When they took the eggs out, they were soft and bouncy! When you let the egg sit in the jar of vinegar overnight, the acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with the calcium carbonate in the shell. This causes the atoms to regroup and form a new substance!
Some questions to ask your students: What is the difference between a chemical and physical change? Are the number of atoms before and after a chemical reaction the same? Why?

Forth graders spent their last several counseling lessons with Mrs. Slavik working on creating compliment boxes. First, they each constructed their own boxes out of paper and decorated them with their name or initials. Then, each student went around and anonymously wrote compliments to their classmates using a template that read "I'd like to compliment _______ for _____________________."
Questions to ask your student about this activity:
1: What was your favorite compliment you received?
2: What are some compliments you gave to your classmates?
3: Is it important to give compliments to others? Why or why not?
Lots of progress being made in the Ag department! Screen door going on the green house, the green house is full of beautiful plants, and the school garage is receiving new steel siding!
