In Science, 7th has been doing a fantastic job with the different Biomes and interactions within varying ecosystems. We will also be looking at human impact on the environment.
8th is studying the human body, and is beginning to look at the impact of infectious disease on the human body and how it can spread. The grade is also studying the North and South Prior to the Civil War - the next few weeks will see them learning about the major battles, and also Reconstruction.
7th has been focusing on a 5 themes project on a location of their choice - maybe somewhere that they will be visiting over summer! And 6th grade has been looking into the life and times of the Greeks and Romans. We will continue to dive deeper into the history and societies of the Mediterranean Region as the year wraps up!
Also - 6th and 7th grade will be traveling to Chicago to visit the Museum of Science and Industry! This should be a wonderful way to tie together our Science, Social Studies, Math and Art curriculum into a fun culminating trip of learning and activities!
