November 16, 2009

I'm back! Washington DC, jury duty, family illnesses, and parent/teacher conferences wreaked havoc on my newly formed habit. I apologize to anyone who has been following this. So....getting back on track.

7th grade is studying heredity. We are learning how certain traits are passed from parents to offspring. We will be practicing using Punnett squares to predict possible offspring. Test should be early next week.

8th grade is moving into our Chemistry unit. We are studying the history of the atom, and will soon be making models of elements. Test for this chapter will be on Monday of next week.
