8th grade students analyze air resistance and friction between differences in surface temperatures. They are using investigations to answer, "How do contact forces, friction and air resistance, cause energy to transfer from one object to another?" The inquiry based lessons help keep students engaged. Do you remember any science labs from middle school?
KFMS Lock In
Twenty two students sold 15 or more items in our annual cookie dough fund raiser and earned their way into the Lock In. Students played dodgeball, volleyball, basketball, competed in a cake walk and enjoyed hanging out with their teachers from 7-11pm! Thank you to Jamie Johnson, our ASB advisor, who planned the entire evening. It was fun!!
KFMS Veterans Day Assembly
The KFMS ASB and students were able to honor local Veterans at their annual assembly. The Sign Language class signed the Pledge of Allegiance. Students learned about all six branches of the military and listened to their individual anthems. The ASB students thanked the Veterans with a handshake and a cinnamon roll. Make sure to thank a Veteran for their service this week!
Book Fair @ KFMS
Swing by the MS library to help support our annual sale. All proceeds go towards new books for our library.
4 at the Door
Character Strong dares teachers to greet all students at the door with eye to eye, name to name, hand to hand, and heart to heart. KFMS has increased this dare to include every staff member. Rain or shine adults will be outside to welcome students. Then they're greeted in the foyer, cafeteria, hallway and finally classroom. How do you like to be greeted? Hand shake or high five?
KFMS Volleyball team dressed in pink on their last game to honor the month of October's Breast Cancer Awareness. The girls decorated their shirts with names of Breast Cancer Warriors on the back. It was a great season for the lady Bulldogs!

Spirit Week @ KFMS
Monday was "Favorite Sports Team"
6th grade students at KFMS were math detectives solving math problems to help them find a missing Roman artifact in Brazil. Students worked together with a partner detective to help them find the clues and use their map to help them find where to go for the next clue. Students were immersed in a real historical event that motivated them to solve the math problems to find the end to the story! Students loved connecting their math with history to help them review their factors and multiples.
Students at KFMS are in the middle of their annual cookie dough sale. Today was the first order/money turn in day. Students who turned in forms got the chance to play dodge ball against the teachers. Please reach out to a middle school student if you would like to help support KFMS with a cookie dough order!
KFMS had twenty one 7th and 8th grade students turn out for football this year. Coaches Josh Jones and Jacob Scharbrough have been hard at work building up the boys' skills and teamwork. They have two more home games on the 16th and 26th. Come help us cheer them on!
Our bus drivers are also great photographers ! Kettle Falls Middle School Volleyball team stopped to take in the sunset at Long Lake Dam. Thank you Charlie for capturing this moment!
Math at KFMS can sometimes be a community effort. Teachers have students sitting in pairs and partnering up in routines to build on each others' thinking. These practices help ALL students participate, which will eventually help with individual work... like tests!
KFMS students have been busy in art! The beginning of the year activities have included getting to know each other through a variety of lessons. Students have created "T-Shirts About Me," name cards that have things that make them happy, snapshots illustrating their summer adventures, and posters to remind the students of their classroom agreements. All of this work helps stress one part of our KFMS goal, "...increasing our sense of belonging..."
