Last Post

Lots is still going on, but the year is drawing to a close. For the upcoming weeks, we will be finishing up our science chapter. Look for your review on Tuesday, and the test next Tuesday (yes, the last day of science).

Don't forget we have a field trip on Thursday to the Health Museum in Houston. You will need to bring a paper bag lunch. I hope to be able to eat at Herman Park, which is near the museum. If you haven't turned in a permission slip, please do so immediately. I am checking on the cost for chaperones, but it looks like it should be anywhere between 4 and 7 dollars. We will leave ASAP after chapel, as it should take over an hour to get there.

Great job on the science projects! They looked great!

If you haven't turned in your math review packet, it is overdue!!!

Thanks for all the flowers, gift certificates, cards, supplies and snacks. It was much appreciated!!!

Have a good week!

For Tuesday...

There was no math homework this weekend. We are beginning to wind down for the year, so math homework will be rare.

We covered section 15-2 and parts of 15-3 on Thursday. I will post the notes as soon as I can. My computer has been fried, but the info was retrieved. I will do my best as soon as I can.

Be working on your chapter choices, nervous system drawing, excretory drawing if you haven't finished it yet, and the chapter review I passed out on Thursday. All of this will be due Thursday when we take our exam.

Remember to bring in field trip money and permission forms. Even if you parent is unable to attend, please have them sign and return the form as a permission slip for you to attend.

Have a blessed Sunday!

Up for Tomorrow...

For tomorrow, I know everyone will be saddened that we have NO math homework due. We will begin reviewing more challenging concepts that we covered this year in order to get a good understanding of the material.

For science, we begin discussing the nervous system. We covered section 1 of chapter 15 and took the notes below. We also discussed conducting an experiment about reaction times. This experiment is due tomorrow. It shouldn't take long. Be sure to include your answers for the analyze and conclude questions as well.

The school wide science project due date is drawing near. If you have not yet shown me your latest additions to the project, then you must turn that in tomorrow.

Please be sure to bring $ for the field trip. It will be $7 for each student. We also need drivers and chaperones, so please let Ms. Blase or me know if your parent would be willing to join us.

Have a good day!

Next...

Tomorrow we will take our math benchmark for the entire book. Be sure to study and look over any items you are unfamiliar with.

Math assignment for 7th graders is lesson 4 from the course 3 book.
My small group of 3 should finish up lesson 105 for homework.
All test corrections are due tomorrow! NO EXCEPTIONS!

We will begin Ch 15 in science tomorrow, covering the nervous system.

I have signed our class up for a field trip to the Houston Museum of Health on May 13 to tour their exhibits about the human body. It promises to be very interesting- you will even get to dissect a cow's heart! The cost will be $7 a student. We will also be in need of drivers and adult chaperones to accomodate all 14 students. Please let me know if you would be willing to join us.

Have a good evening!

Next Week...

This Tuesday we have a science test again! It was a short and sweet chapter about the respiratory and excretory systems. We wrapped it up, and next we are on to the nervous system! So be sure to turn in your chapter choices and your drawing of the excretory or respiratory system.

Math lesson 2 for 7th graders is also due. My group of 3 also has lesson 107 due as well.

Report cards will go out tomorrow.

Have a good weekend!
