Week of 3/29

Start of a new quarter! Both grades will be finishing up chapters right before spring break. Start out the quarter with a strong grade so you don't have to dig yourself out of a hole at the end of the school year.

Week of 3/8

Hello again! I got a little behind. I guess this isn't quite a habit yet. With the distractions of science fair and a student teacher teaching my 7th graders, I too easily let my new habit fall by the wayside. My apologies!

The 7th graders greatly enjoyed their first class dissection. Who knew an earthworm could have such distinct parts?! We will be finishing up our Chapter on invertebrates this week, and I'm hoping to be ready for the test on Friday.

Eighth grade is learning about Newton & motion. We will be planning and directing short videos that illustrate Newton's 3 Laws of Motion. I am also hoping to get to a Ch. 6 Test on Friday.
