Science: 4/20 - 4/24

The 8th grade students are finishing up their geology unit this week.  On Monday, 4/20, they will watch Inside Planet Earth which will tie together everything they have learned in the geology unit.  Students will also receive a review packet on Monday, which will be due on Friday, 4/24.  On Wednesday, 4/22, we will take a break from reviewing to participate in Earth Day. Students will learn the history of Earth Day, go outside and help take care of our local environment by picking up litter, and then come back to the classroom for a reflection of the day's activities.  Your student should have received a permission slip for Wednesday in case we leave school grounds (we are planning on walking to a couple of local parks).  If your student did not receive a permission slip on Friday, they will get it today.  Please sign it and have them return it to me ASAP. On Friday, 4/24, we will have our final geology quiz.  The quiz will cover everything on the review packet from Monday.  Please be sure your student is filling out the review packet this week using their geology notes.
