The school year is off to a great start and the kids have been totally awesome!!!
6th Grade has been doing a fantastic job studying Science as a field, and will be going on into the study of Motion, Forces and Energy in the start of the second quarter. 8th Grade has been doing an awesome job in the study of genetics and cellular reproduction and duplication. Next stop is Physics!!! Look out Sir Isaac Newton!!! And finally - 7th Grade 's study of the parts of a cell and the processes that they assist in is slowly winding down - we will be focusing on genetics for awhile before going full-tilt into Ecology and the Environment!
In the realm of Social Studies - The ancient civilization of Sumer and their fabulous Cuneiform writing system has been the focus of 7th graders - We have been focusing on the fertile crescent and the importance of rivers in early civilizations. 8th Grade is looking into the dawn of the Revolutionary War - the Intolerable Acts and Boston Massacre is our starting off point and we will continue to roll through our nation's history - taking a short stop to look at government types to better understand our own three branches of the government.
There are a lot of amazing events coming up - be sure to check the schools calendar as well as the homework calendar!
Have a beautiful week!
