Grade 7: Week of November 7th to 11th

Grade 7s will work on their non-smoking poster on Monday. The good copy is due on Tuesday and will be displayed in the room and hallway. Students may print out pictures for the poster, or may elect to do it all on computer and print it at home. Students will also get back their Respiratory system test on Monday and we will go over common corrections. If students receive 70% and below, they must get the test signed by their parents.

On Tuesday, students will begin learning about an essential system: the circulatory system and its main organ, the heart. During the week students will see animations of the heart pumping blood, label the heart's parts, and trace one student's body and the flow of blood from the heart to the cells and back again. Finally, we will discuss parts of the blood and their functions. Students will be especially interested in seeing a white blood cell attack and devour a virus!

Homework will continued to be posted through out the week. Students do not come to school Friday.
