Letter from the Principal
Dear Parent or Guardian of Boltz Middle School Student:
I hope this letter finds you well. By the time you are reading this, we will have
completed the first quarter of the school year. We had an amazing turn out for
conferences and it was wonderful to see our families fill the building. If you did not
have a chance to attend parent teacher conferences, I encourage you to contact
teachers to address any questions or concerns you may have.
Throughout the school year, we will continue to conduct safety drills and
evacuations. The purpose of regular practice is to ensure that we are prepared in
the event of a real emergency. Thank you for your help in the mornings at the dropoff lane. Please remember to pull all the way down along the red curb before letting
your child out of the car. Students can only be dropped off from the inside lane,
where it is safe to access the sidewalk.
I am appreciative of the parent community and the support you have shown us over
the years. Thanks to your support, we raised over $12,000 during our Back to Boltz
Walk-A-Thon! This money will go directly back to classrooms and be used on our
students this school year. Last year we used funds to purchase classroom books, fund
fieldtrips, and buy much needed supplies. We are thankful for your on-going
support.

Testing Information
Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS)
The new tests measure new learning expectations outlined in the new standards (Colorado
Academic Standards).



Many Colorado teachers helped develop the new tests.
The new tests will be given this year in:
Science: grades 5, 8 and 12
Social studies: grades 4, 7 and 12
English language arts: grades 3 through 11
Math: grades 3-8 and three times in high school
These tests replace the old fill-in-the-bubble tests with new interactive and engaging
tests taken online.
Because these are different tests, they’ll have different scores.

Testing Information (continued)





New levels of achievement: distinguished command, strong command, moderate
command and limited command.
These new tests measure performance against higher expectations. With higher
expectations, fewer students will initially achieve at the highest levels.
With fewer students achieving at the highest levels at first, it doesn’t mean students are
suddenly performing worse. Rather, we’ve raised the bar of expectations.
The new tests measure deeper learning and critical thinking skills.
Students began taking new science & social studies last spring; 12th graders will take
them this fall. All students will take English & math in March.
Different Types of Tests
Different types of tests are routinely given to students throughout the year. A balanced
approach to testing gives teachers, parents and students ongoing feedback about student
performance along the way. We want just enough feedback to know how well students are
doing and not too much to overburden schools and students.
Here are the most commonly use types of tests:
 Summative tests are given at the end of something – a course, unit or grade level – once
all the instruction has happened and makes sure every student actually learned what they
were supposed to through-out that timeframe. This is our evidence of learning.
 Benchmark/Interim tests are given periodically throughout the year and happen “in the
middle of learning” so teachers, students and parents can understand how well students
are progressing and if there are any gaps in understanding so adjustments can be made to
address the gaps.
 Formative tests are similar to the interim tests, but much more informal. These quick
checks allow teachers to see if students understand specific concepts and if there need to
be adjustments in instruction so student best comprehend

Boltz Art!
A lot of great things happening in art lately!! For 6th grade, we are
just now wrapping up our project based on cave paintings. After
looking at cave paintings from around the world, students were
introduced to texture and shape, and were then asked to apply it into
their own personal “cave” paintings. We related the process to street
art, creating stencils out of pictures that we found and eventually
making our own stencils. We crumpled, ripped and stepped on big
sheets of paper, and some of us were able to use clay to emulate a
rocky texture. We then used natural materials—much like the old cave men and women—to
stain the surfaces of our texture. Students had a blast getting messy with coffee grounds to
get our desired effect! Overall, the project has been challenging, but with our challenges we
have learned a lot!
7th and 8th grade Art II and Art III has been exploring Pop Art for the past couple of weeks.
With some background information on what Pop Art is, we discussed controversy within a
famous pop artist’s work—Roy Lichtenstein. Most students saw him as a man who copied
other ideas, while others recognized that he followed the rules of pop art. After a
conversation of what makes a true artist, we stepped into the technique of contour line.
Using popular images in our lives in combination to personal pictures, our task is to create a

work of pop art that follows its general characteristics. The outcome so far has been inspiring
to say the least.
7th and 8th grade Pottery and Sculpture wrapped up our “Personal Phoenix” project and have
moved on to Mask Making. After observing the main functions of masks (ritual, disguise,
transformation, and protection), and looking at how they have been used in our society, we
got a chance to research a mask making process of our choosing. After this, we wrote down
steps and started the process of making a basic template to build off of for our upcoming
masks.

Life with the Seasons By Arianna Lepori
The shadow flew over the land. The air whistled and a strong breeze scattered the drying leaves. A
screech sent animals scattering. A bright scarlet feather dropped into the landscape soaring by. The
bird, huge and majestic, was blotted out for a single moment, causing a second of distress. The wings
flapped, the noise reverberating off of the hills covered in orange and red leaves. The feather that had
fallen started to lose its color. The bird screeched once more before the feathers began to drift down.
The shadow slowed down. A thump sounded from the crackling leaves. The feather had rotten and
began to spark. It combusted. An explosion blew trees into a nearby village. The bird hard lit up and
exploded. A delicate pile of soft gray ash piled on the new clearing. Gentle, beautiful white flakes
started drifting down. The land turned white and blindingly bright. The cold lasted for months. The
people and animals struggled to survive. The air warmed, streams trickled from the hills that started to

show small green sprouts. A lump formed in the soaked grey pile. A tiny, vulnerable bird
emerged. It flapped its wings. A spark hit the tiny bird’s foot. It lit up the bird. It became a
ball of fire. It flapped into the sky. It grew as it got hotter, the hills lush and teaming with
life. It screeched, stronger than before. It soared high, the flamed coating it burned bright as
if burning the memories of when the bird had been falling apart. The remembrance of the
wings and the feathers falling off, the chill that set in. The smell of rot and smoke the bird
had scented before it combusted. Those memories melted away, the breath taking bird
burned brighter than ever. Showering the world with a golden light. A new beginning only
made the bird stronger and braver, more confident than before.
Loteria
By Joshua Volpe
From the fire I rise only to
die again and again, different force but still the same
person. My glee is like the
feather of a phoenix, it lights
up a room. My first try at
regenerating, it didn’t work.
So my son, I will give you
the knowledge through my
ashes.
My Phoenix By Sadie Valdez
Deep in the forest lay a small blue egg.
Cracking and shaking as it’s formed with two legs.
Fully formed and covered with feathers,
Burst into flames and sent to the nether.
Slowly reborn the little bird lives.
Blue and gold feathers, the bird finally gives.
Soaring through the sky it flies.
Its beady black eyes,
Colorful little artifacts it spies.
Claws like a hawk, picks the pencils up.
Three, four, five and six.
All different colors, looking like sticks.
Fluffy feathers, the colors get stuck.
Stuck there forever, just like hard muck.
Dying its feathers orange and red.
After years of living, it’s once again dead.
It burst into flames, one blue feather remained.
The owner, an artist, was very pained.
Given the colored pencils the blue feather soars.
Up in the sky, everyone adores.

I am Phoenix Poem
By Ingrid Villalba
I am phoenix
I fly through my imagination.
I am a phoenix that gets reborn and learns from
its mistakes.
I am phoenix
I soar through the learning experiences.
I am a colorful, bright phoenix.
I am phoenix.
I build friendships.
I am a small, loving phoenix.
I am phoenix.
I share knowledge throughout my experience
I share love through my actions.
BOLTZ CHOIRS
Our choirs just had a very successful Fall Concert, and now we’re
gearing up for our Holiday Concert!
We will be performing on Thursday, December, 18 at 7PM at Fort
Collins High School. It’s hard to believe that Christmas is just right
around the corner!
Our Show Choir will be performing with the other middle school
choirs in the district on November 13th, during the school day. This
is a fun collaboration, and it’s always a good experience for the kids. We listen to all of the
other choirs perform, and then each choir gest a 30 minute clinic with one of the high school
choir directors. It’s a great learning experience for the students, and always fun to see what
the other schools are doing!

German 1A - Fall, 2013
The 7th grade German 1A students are well on their way to learning German.
So far, we have learned daily greetings and phrases. We have learned to introduce ourselves
and others. We have devoted time primarily to those introductions as well as viewed a Foto
Roman provided through the text. This allows students to listen to authentic German
speakers.
Furthermore, students are learning the various forms of verbs and how to use them in
sentences to create new meanings. The two primary verbs are heißen (to be named) and
sein (to be). We have also begun the study of all regular verbs and the conjugation pattern.

German 1A - Fall, 2013 (continued)
We are also delving into the genders of the German nouns – der, die, and das. This is quite
different from our English language since all of these words mean “the.”
Soon we will begin our study of school: subjects, grades, likes, dislikes, etc.
Students recently read an article and wrote a short paragraph about the similarities and
differences between the American and German school systems. They discovered that even
though there are many differences, there are also many similarities.
German - Fall, 2014
The 8th grade German 1B students have reviewed daily greetings and phrases. We have spent
a great deal of time reviewing speaking on the topics of introduction of self and school. We
have incorporated descriptive language – both physical and personality vocabulary. We have
also reviewed the topic of school – what courses we take, what our favorites are, and grades
we receive. This has also involved time telling. Our next topic will be leisure activities. We
will review our adverbs so that we can tell when, how often, to what extent we take part in
the activities.
Our emphasis has been on conversation about various topics. With this performance target in
mind, we will continue to progress toward not only fluency but accuracy.
Our next big effort will be to begin our Keypal Project with the students in Großefehn,
Germany.
The students attend a Gesamtschule in northeastern Germany and are usually in grades 7-8.
We will correspond by writing in German and they will write back in English. This plays an
extremely important role in students learning to write authentically in the German language.
Explorations in Deutsch
So if you just had a few weeks to learn a world language, what would you want to know?
Well, you could begin with: “Guten Morgen!” “Hallo!” “Wie geht’s?” and “Auf
Wiedersehen!” Explorations in German students are well on their way to learning a bit of
Deutsch. The semester began with greetings, letters (speeded alphabet) numbers, and time
telling. We just went to the computer lab where students typed short introductory biographies
which are now posted (along with photos) outside of Frau McGrew’s room. When you are at
Boltz, come and see them.
We have just learned how to state our age and when our birthdays are. This means they know
the numbers and months of the year. Along with this we have learned a German birthday
song and celebrated the October birthdays. We sing to the birthday “kids” and then they get a
German birthday stamp and a pencil with “Viel Glück zum Geburtstag?”
In the weeks ahead, we will study colors, clothing and the geography of Germany and its
neighboring countries. Students will also learn how to speak about their favorite activities or
interests: sports, music, and hobbies.
We will also study a short unit on school. Students will learn to talk about their various
courses stating which course is their favorite. They will also learn the similarities and
differences between our school system and the schools in Germany.
The quarter will end with the study of places in a city and the vocabulary
of following directions. With luck, they will be able to locate shops for
clothes, food, and a bathroom if in Germany. We will also study the
Christmas traditions, song, and foods.
Tschüß!

Technology and Engineering Update
In the Technology and Engineering courses we have finished our first projects and are
stepping it up a notch. The 6th grade students will be working on Inventions. Each student
will come up with a plan for something new. Then they will have to build a model, make a
poster, and write a paragraph describing their wonderful new invention. The 7th grade
students are designing mousetrap powered racecars. They are trying to get their cars to
travel precisely 10 feet on our tile floors. The 8th grade students are designing and building
CO2 powered racecars. The fastest ones will go 40 MPH real speed!!! We will have races
and a car show when we are all done building. It’s going to be a great quarter!!
Robotics
In the Boltz Robotics classes, we have finished learning the basics. The students know how to build
robots, add sensors, and program them to do tasks. Now it’s contests, contests, and more contests.
Using the First LEGO League competition tables and props from the last several seasons, we are
teaming up to attack new challenges. Teams will build robots, program them, and try to achieve as
many points as possible on the competition tables. We will probably even make up our own
competitions. It’s going to be competitive but fun!!
From the School Nurse
Hello Boltz families! I would like to introduce myself. My name
is Erin Camper, RN and I am the school nurse this year at Boltz.
I am super excited to be putting my nursing knowledge and my
love of working with children to use in this role and to be supporting your students here at Boltz! I will be at Boltz on Mondays most weeks. Day to day medical needs are taken care of by
our wonderful Heatlh Tech., Mrs. Tomanek and the office staff under my guidance. I look
forward to working with them and with you, as parents, to keep our students safe and healthy
this year!
Team Six
Science
In science, Mr. Garcia and Baumgartner’s classes are currently focusing on the relationships
between organisms and their role in the environment. During this unit, the students are
learning about how organisms interact with each other and their environment in various ways
to create a flow of energy and cycling of matter in the ecosystem. The ecology unit will be
wrapping up soon. Please have the students refer to their interactive notebooks to study and
master the key terms in the ecology unit.
6th grade math: Connected 2XL
We have wrapped up our work with integers, rational numbers, identifying irrational numbers and exponents. November will take us into our next big unit where we will work on
equivalent expressions and percents. During first quarter we spent much of our time getting
used to explaining our answers and discussing the math. This will continue to be a focus, as
we communicate more about our answers instead of merely getting the right answer.
Connected Math 1
As we move into November we will have finished our unit on Fractions and Decimals. Please have your student continue to work on the specific skills where they are making
lower than a 3. If you look at the rubrics that are handed back with their tests and retakes
you can tell which skills they still need practice with. One place you can find this practice is

Khan Academy. Each student has already signed in and will only need to search for the skill
they need to practice. For example, they may need to practice subtracting decimals. We will
begin ratios here soon.
Please continue to check with your student to make sure they have pencils and supplies. We
are getting to the time of year when students start to forget to bring the basics to class. Also
have your student show you their grades in StudentVue to check if they are keeping up.
Time is moving quickly! We had a great first quarter and are looking towards a better
2nd quarter.
Thank you,
Your 6th grade math team
Geography
In Geography we will be investigating the factors that affect climate. Ask your student what
they are. Students will also be creating a paper on their culture. It is focusing on traditions,
celebrations, food, clothing, sports and anything else they do. As the quarter progresses, we
will begin our unit on Canada.
English
In 6th Grade English, we are studying characterization as we read Rules. Students will be
reviewing the parts of speech and learning how to boost their words to make their writing
more descriptive. Narrative writing is also in the near future. Students will review plot, dialogue, and narrative techniques for writing a story.
We're excited that so many students are participating in the 40 Book Challenge! Keep up the
good work!
Team 7
Geography
As we wrap up the first quarter, geography students have established a nice foundation of
skills and terminology which we will use as we journey around the Eastern Hemisphere! In
second quarter you can look forward to a better understand of the European Union as well as
Russia and the former republics of the Soviet Union!
English
Looking ahead to Quarter Two, we will begin our Power of One Unit, including a novel
study of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred Taylor. Students will be researching a
Civil Rights Activist and writing an essay with citations over his or her life. In addition to
our Power of One unit, students should continue to read every day for our Phoenix 40 Book
Challenge.
Math
CM2 In CM2 students have started our Proportionality and Linear Relationship Unit with looking
at the concepts of similarity. Students will discover the properties of similar figures and
explore relationships among figures that have been stretched or shrunk by a scale factor. We
will investigate real-world applications such as estimating the height of tall objects by using
shadows and similar triangles. Here are some strategies for helping your child work through
the ideas in this unit:
Talk about real-world encounters with similarity.
Look at your child’s “interactive notebook.”
Encourage your child to complete all practice work.

CM2XLStudents in CM2XL have been working on the properties of exponents and will wrap up our
unit of rational numbers/irrational numbers by identifying and estimating values of irrational
numbers. Then we will be moving on to our Proportionality and Linear Relationship Unit by
looking at the concepts of similarity. Students will discover the properties of similar figures
and explore relationships among figures that have stretched or shrunk by a scale factor. We
will investigate real-world applications such as estimating the height of tall objects by using

 Talk about real-world encounters with similarity.
 Look at your child’s “interactive notebook.”
 Encourage your child to complete all practice work.
Algebra
Students in algebra have just completed their unit around equations. Moving on we will be
focusing on defining, evaluating and comparing functions. In addition, students will be
extending their knowledge of linear relationships and discovering other forms to write the
equation of a straight line. Here are some strategies for helping your child work with ideas
in this unit:
 Discuss how two thing may or may not be related to each other. How would this look on
a graph?
 Continue to use Khan Academy as a resource
 Look at your child’s “Interactive Notebook
Science
7th grade Science is rockin' right along! Our geology unit is in full swing and we continue to
study how convection is responsible for plate motion, volcanoes, earthquakes, and the
tectonic plate theory. Ask to see your student's interactive notebook and help them keep up
on the new vocabulary. This unit concludes with a District Common Assessment and they
will get more information on this as it gets closer.
Team 8
Mrs. McGrew’s English Class
The 8th grade students in Mrs. McGrew’s English classes are presently working on the short
story and expository writing unit. The primary focus is to understand the elements of fiction
as seen in the stories we read. In addition, students are learning the correct writing format for
and expository introductory paragraph and a support paragraph. The students have also been
taught the techniques of peer editing – not an easy task. With each essay students are given a
rubric that shows how the essays will be graded. The most recent rubric has the following
“standard indicators”: strong introduction, vocabulary/word choice, style & structure,
mechanics/usage, and textual evidence. The end goal is to complete a multi-paragraph essay
at the conclusion of this unit
Algebra 1
Students are finishing up solving and applying multi-step equations and inequalities.
Teachers continue to stress to students the importance of daily practice by completing all
homework. The good habits they develop now will support them through the rest of their
math courses.

Mrs. Hulse’s Geometry Class
We will start studying the properties of parallel lines. The postulates and theorems we learn
now will carry us into proofs regarding triangle congruence. Around Halloween students
will be exposed to Billy Bob’s Road Kill Café, which introduces triangle congruence
theorems. Ask them about the food at Billy Bob’s.
Algebra 2 Class
These students are finishing up a new-review unit on Quadratic Functions. Using things they
learned in Algebra 1 and incorporating more technology to gain a deeper understanding of
the applications and uses for Quadratics.
History
Your 8th grade U.S. History student is wrapping up their successful Colonial Newspaper
project. Each of your students wrote 4 different assignments. The project asked them to
understand our history during the Colonial period and then create newspaper articles and
opinions covering the things they learned. Be sure to ask them about their final products!
Next we will discuss our upcoming November election. This election will support our
State Standards in Civics and launch us into our next unit. After reviewing the American
Revolution we will study the formation of our new governmental system. The time spent
studying the U.S. Constitution and our Bill of Rights is fun and exciting for students as they
understand their role as citizens. Please talk with your students about your experiences under
our system, especially how the Bill of Rights has affected your family's history.
Your student will not study these critical ideas on self-government until well into their high
school years. It is so important that we work together to develop our young citizens. We
thank you for your support.

The Gifted and Talented (GT) program at Boltz needs help from our Phoenix
community! You can make a difference for our GT students! It’s easy!
Our 2014-2015 GT team is looking for short-term mentors for GT students who are wanting
to learn more about a particular career or field during this upcoming school year. This is not
a year-long commitment, so please don’t let the potential time commitment of being a
mentor scare you off. The student just wants to interview you either here at Boltz or on-site
(with a parent present) at your job. I need professionals in the fields listed below to be
willing to let a 6th, 7th, or 8th grade GT student interview you somewhere between December
and March. These students have chosen careers of great interest to them, so you will have a
willing audience when you are speaking.

Team 8 (continued)
General Overview of What is Asked of our GT Mentors:
1. Students will be required to call you on the phone to make first contact. Since teens are
more comfortable with texting and emailing, we want them to practice their less used
one-on-one verbal communication skills with this first contact. (Note: Students also
have to write their interview questions and have them approved by one of the staff on the
GT Team before they can ever get your contact information, so your student will be
prepared for your interview.)
2. Interviews need to be done in person, preferably here at Boltz on a school day.
However, you will have to set that up with your student(s). If there is a chance for a
job shadow with you at your job, that can be arranged as well; however, know that a
parent is required to accompany the student to your place of business. Like last year, if
you meet with this student anywhere but here at Boltz, know that a parent is required to
accompany the student.
3. Mentors will be required to register on the Poudre School District website as a district
volunteer. This is a very easy process that can be done on the PSD website.
Mentors we need to find for our 2014-2015 GT students to interview:
