Week of 5/23

There are lots of activities competing for my science time this week, so it's important to stay on top of the assignments even when there is no class. Seventh grade should be focusing on writing their chastity essays. They were given all of the requirements last Friday, and the essays are due this Friday. Eighth grade is wrapping up their heat unit and will have a Chapter 10 Test on Thursday which is our last day for science this week.
