Week of 4/19

Let the craziness begin! As our step quickens with each warmer and warmer spring day, our schedules also get busier and busier. Help your child stay on task by checking grades often and keeping an eye on their schedule.

7th Grade is beginning their 3-week long unit on the Human Body. Though this is a group project, each individual has responsibilities of things to complete that affect only their own grade. We will start out with each students learning about one organ, and then moving into the system that their organ is part of.

8th grade is finishing up a chapter on work and machines. They will create a Publisher brochure showing simple machines in use around our school.
