Good afternoon gents,

I don't have much to report today, just wanted to give a quick update about homework for each grade! With that said, here we go as follows:

Grade 6:
This afternoon we continued discussing tsunamis to help develop a further understanding of the recent disaster that took place in Indonesia that should assist you in your newspaper story that is due and will be presented in class on Friday. You also have some BrainPop activities and vocabulary to complete as a part of your homework to help tie all of this information together and to serve as a reference for future assignments.

Grade 7:
You guys were able to watch TWO BrainPop videos this morning that were based on the concepts of development associated with human reproduction. You guys did a good job with this information and have really been doing a solid job over the past two weeks as an entire grouup, keep that up! You were given some BrainPop activities to help reinforce the content of the videos and keep in mind that you have "Life as a Fetus" short story due on Friday, as well as your brochure for stages of development after the point of birth.

Grade 8:
You guys will continue working with The Periodic Table of Elements information and the creation of a replica of the chart that will indiciate the number of electrons in each energy level of the element itself. Please keep in mind that you guys will need to have your element cubes ready to go for Friday as you guys will present them in class.

Also EACH grade should begin reviewing information for an assessment over the course of the next week (probably Friday for each grade).

Thank you all,
SMALLS
