English:
This past week we worked on recognizing nouns in sentences to better improve our writing. We also responded to our friends in Uganda with our pen pal letters. Students really enjoyed reading their responses to us. Next week we begin work on Workshop 3 in the Expert 21 book, entitled "Nature's Fury". We will explore questions relating to how we prepare ourselves for conflict and how communities come together to help each other in times of crisis.
Health:
This week wraps up your child's health course. We are sad to see them go! It's been a pleasure to have all of your children in our classes. Our biggest message to your children are that the choices you make now matter! We hope you all have a wonderful rest of the year!

Science:
This week in science, we completed the semester with the midterm exam. Friday, Team 7-2 students participated in a "team day". We watched a movie called, "Cyber-Bully". The movie was followed up with reflective questions that related the movie to student experiences on-line and in school as part of the Health curriculum. Next week in science, we will begin the study of the Digestive System.
Social Studies:
Next week we will complete our study of the Constitutional Convention and begin our study of the layout of our nation’s Constitution. Next Friday we will pause from this study to begin working on an iPad iMovie project students will be completing in class the following week. More information will follow.
