Students are studying the smallest functioning part of the human body: the cell. We will have a quiz on cell parts and their functions on Tuesday. Expect a review sheet on Monday.
The digestive system is the first fascinating system that we will explore, from the mouth to the large intestine. We will examine the different parts of the digestive system and their functions. Then we will explore mechanical and chemical digestion.

Grade 8: Week of October 3-7th
Students have put a lot of time and effort into their ocean models and paragraphs. I have learned many interesting facts about ocean animals from students' presentations but I'm not sure I would like to meet a filler shark or electric eel....
Students will receive an ocean review sheet Monday or Tuesday to study for their ocean test depending on how long presentations take. The test on oceans will be on Thursday. Our next unit of the hydrosphere focuses on indicators of clean water. We will examine: turbidity, nitrates, phosphates, thermal pollution, and dissolved oxygen levels in the water.

Parents,
The air pressure test is moved to Thursday to give students enough time to study and review. All students should have a review sheet to help them study.

Informational meeting on China this Tuesday 3:30
Our EF tour representative, Kimberly, will be here Tuesday 3:30 in the media center to answer any questions about China. She is our resident expert in North Carolina. Please come out if you are interested in traveling to Beijing, Shanghai, and Xian during spring break April 6th to 16th!
Grade 5: Week of September 26 -30th
We have been studying air pressure as one condition of weather. Students from two classes have already been given the review sheet to complete for Tuesday. The other class will receive the review sheet on Tuesday. Students have two days to study their review sheet, which will be similar to the test. Classes who receive their review sheet on Monday will have their test on Wednesday and those that receive it on Tuesday will have a test on Thursday. We will play various vocabulary games such as "Go Fish", and test ourselves to prepare. Clouds - their shapes, altitudes, and precipitation - are our next venture.
Please note progress reports were handed out today. I am counting this as an assignment grade. If it is turned in on Tuesday or Wednesday signed students receive a 5/5. Every day it is late after, a point is taken off. Please write a note if you accidentally misplace the progress report or would like to keep it for more time.

Grade 7: Week of September 26th to 30th
Students have put forth an excellent effort on their choice project. Students are continuing to present their posters, power points, dioramas, and essays. When finished the project, we will learn about something completely different: cells and tissues. This will begin a large unit on the digestive system, respiratory system, and central nervous system. We will explore the human body, its functions, how to keep it healthy, and the miracles it performs every day.
