Week of 4/25

Let the spring madness begin! Academic bowl, track meets, science olympiad, baseball, softball, spring thing,... oh yeah, we are still supposed to be learning things in school! :) I will be trying my best to help my students stay motivated. Seventh graders are in the beginning stages of a large project on the human body. The first pieces are due on Wednesday (vocab, pictures, facts, letter), and they will have had three class periods of work time to prepare. You will probably see them doing some work at home, but if they seem overwhelmed, then they have not been using class time wisely. Eighth graders continue studying energy and will have quite an "eggciting" challenge by the end of the week.
