Students need to arrive as promptly as possible on these days, well-rested, and having had a nutritious, delicious, breakfast!
In the afternoons of this week, 8th graders will continue their AIMS review, focusing especially on the Scientific Method, while 7th graders will begin studying ecosystems and energy roles. Homework will be extremely light, if there is any at all.
After AIMS, 7th graders will be picking a biome to study in-depth (in a group), focusing particularly on the food webs and resources present in their biome, while 8th graders will be learning the names of the major bones and muscles of the body.
Progress reports come out 20 April (Tuesday), and students will have some time in class to make sure they're all caught up as we head into May!
