Week of 3/28

Five days of intense work ahead of us! Got to get a lot accomplished before spring break. Seventh grade will be wrapping up their study of the animal kingdom by investigating birds and mammals. They will have a short test on each of these sections rather than a full chapter test on both topics. Eighth grade will be finishing up chapter 7 with a test on Thursday. Academic bowl qualifying test will be given on Wednesday so that participants for the bowl can be announced before spring break.
