Mar. 22/13 Weekly Update for Mar.25 - 29

Weekly Update!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, especially grade 8's: I have been stepping up the work for you. I am hoping to prepare you as best as I can for high school. The majority of you are rising to the challenge with such fervor, such tenacity, that I feel scarcely three seconds ahead of you!!! It's incredible. I am so proud of you. Many, many of you are taking risks with your learning; you are thinking outside of the box; you are pushing yourself. These characteristics will help you in any subject! Well done. Now, onward!!

Class 7/8A Advisory:
I hope you are recording the information we discussed:
- hours of sleep
- food you are eating
- focus time, and
- exercise
We will be looking at these data during our next class. Please do not forget it!

Grade 7 Classes:
I have been threatening/promising you with a Science Poster for a couple of weeks now. Well, it's coming! We will create a science poster to review all of the concepts we have studied since January. Artistry not your thing? No problemo! You can create a slide show/prezi/something online.

Grade 8 Classes:
We will continue on with our Chemistry experiments - this time, there will be stations and you will rotate through. We are stepping up the pace! You have the skills - now you have to put them to good use. Be ready to work quickly!

Grade 8D Class:
Fluids - we will be continuing with our Fluids Unit. Please make sure you understand the concepts introduced so far. Next class will be a working period; we will save our fluids experiment for one more week. If you would like to work ahead, keep reading the textbook and create study notes from what you are learning.
