Weekly Update: April 14 to the 17 (4 day week!)

Four day weeks seem like fun, but really, especially as you become an adult, you will learn that 4 day weeks mean you have to do 5 days' worth of work over 4 days!

Grade 8's Science:

We are starting our new unit on FLUIDS
Your REVIEW quiz this week:

  • The 5 parts of the Particle Theory
  • Three states of matter
  • 6 changes of state
  • The chart on how particles behave


Grade 7's Science:

Our Mixtures and Solutions Unit is over. This next week you will receive the results of your test and we will take it up. Please make sure your Gummy Bear/Observing Osmosis Assignment is in. Our next unit is Form and Function.

Grade 7/8A Language:
SPEECH: Your speech is this week! Here is the line up:

Tuesday: LVD, CSp, AMc, AT, CSh, JM, BMac, TSm, 
Wednesday: KW, RW, KLy, BP, HST, KLo, GR, LP, LC, JG
Thursday: GB, AB, KS, XF, TD, EC, HA, LR

Practice with someone at home! Practice, practice, practice! Practice so much that you aren't reading every word, but rather you are looking at your notes and speaking to the audience.

CASI FICTION PRACTICE:  I have sent you a story on the Cloud, along with questions. We are hoping to take this up in partners next week, starting on Tuesday. Please have it done by then.
