Week of November 30-December 4

Sorry it has been a while since I last posted. It has been busy. I hope everyone was able to enjoy Thanksgiving Break!

Geography

The students started working on Chapter 12 this week. See the handout section for a copy of the chapter 12 study guide. The test over Chapter 12 will be next Friday, December 11th. Remember the "Book of Life" is due this Friday. You've had the assignment for over a month. I've seen lots of good examples and I'm sure everyone has been working hard. A good idea to make sure you have all pieces for your book is to view and/or print the packet for the assignment. That is also in the geography handout section to the right.

English

Just before Thanksgiving break we finished "Of Mice and Men" and now this week we are reading "A Christmas Carol". Once again, I will do my best to get all handouts posted in a section off to the right. It is a story we're almost all familiar with, but it is fun to read the original!

Science

Before break we finished out unit on compounds. Now we are studying chemical reactions. We even completed a couple of fun labs where we were able to observe different chemical reaction and observe the 4 different ways in which we can identify that a chemical reaction has occurred.
