Week of 2/1

Science fair procedures and materials lists were due last Friday. I have reviewed them and made comments and suggestions for all students. Now is the time to carry out the experiment. Data and graphs are due on Feb. 17. I still have project boards available here at school for $3.00.

7th grade will be learning about the fungus kingdom, writing poems, and looking at some fungus under our microscopes.

8th grade is finishing their chemistry unit with a test on Wednesday and beginning their physics unit soon after that.
