Better late than never!

Yikes!  I haven't updated since before Winter Break!  :O I could give lame excuses, but they would be, well....lame!  I apologize for my lack of updates, and will hopefully be back on track!  Here's an update of what we've been doing:

• Week of January 7:  
• 8th Grade - We started our new unit - CHEMISTRY!  We had our first lab. 
• 7th Grade - We started our new unit - Earth Systems and Processes!  We had our first lab.
• Week of January 14:
• 8th Grade - Continuing with Chemistry, learning about the three main states of matter here on earth.  Students are learning what the states look like on the atomic level and what happens when thermal energy has been added.
• 7th Grade - Continuing with Earth Systems and Processes, learning about the layers of the earth, their composition, depth and characteristics.
