This week both grades will be taking tests and then starting a new chapter.

7th grade will begin their creation unit. We will be using a lot of material from Answers in Genesis. They are the group with whom Carl Kerby, who recently visited our church, is associated. I have included a link to their website on my link list. There is so much information there. We will also be discussing evolution, so the students know what the theory says, what we as Christians can agree with, and what scientific inaccuracies are part of the theory.

8th grade will continue their study of chemistry as we move into the study of how and why atoms bond with each other. Reminder: Their element project is due on Wednesday, Dec. 16.
