7 Science has been studying the Cardiovascular and Respiratory systems. We will be having a quiz on this area of study, Lesson 3, and there is a review posted in Showbie to help them study and prepare for the quiz. After this, we will be moving on to another set of body systems, the Digestive and Excretory systems. We will look at how stomach acids break down food, and how we get rid of what our bodies do not need or use to help keep us in homeostasis.
8 Science has been looking into the depths and the shallows of the ocean. We are studying parts of waves and looking at the treacherous impact of tsunamis, along with the weather systems that can be found near and interact with the waters and currents of the ocean.
7 Social Studies is going further with our study of the Romans and the influence of Christianity on the Roman Empire. We will be learned no about the foundation of the Christian faith and church, the Romans’ response to this new faith, and the impact it has had on the world ever since. There will not be a test on this chapter of study.
8 Social Studies has been learning about the life and times of Andrew Jackson - trying to figure out how we feel about his choices, laws, and the impact he had on U.S. history.

We will be having a test n this chapter in the following week on Tuesday March 19. A review will be posted in Showbie.
