Week of 5/10

After a busy week preparing for Ghana Festival and our human body projects, it is time to get focused on our regular curriculum and finish up human body presentations.

7th Grade will hear a different system presented each day. The following day they will have a short quiz on the presentation. We will be done with the human body at the end of the week. After each day's presentation and quiz is completed, we will use the remaining time to start covering the material in our sex ed unit.

8th grade will be finishing their unit on light and will move into the study of heat and energy.
