6th gr
We are finishing up Chapter 8 this week. Our test will cover chapters 7 and 8. The students have a study guide for chapter 7 and are writing down a few things from Chapter 8 they need to know.
The Chapter 7-8 test will be on Thursday, Nov. 21.
7th gr
Seventh grade is learning origin of life theories. As we discuss evidences for evolution from the text book, we are comparing them to commonly held beliefs about creation. The students will be writing an essay explaining what they believe concerning six different concepts. I have encouraged them to talk with their family about what they believe.
We will be writing sentences about each concept during the week and putting them all together by Friday. The essays will be turned in for a test grade on Monday, Nov. 25. I will not grade them for views expressed, instead I will be looking to see that all six concepts were covered. I encourage you to look at what they write and give them some input.
8th gr
The test for Chapter 7 has been rescheduled twice. I apologize for that. The students have a study guide they received last week for the chapter. In addition, they have notes from a video we watched and chemical equation balancing sheets.
The test will for chapter 7 will be on Thur., Nov. 21.
