Language Arts  

    We are currently working on fractured fairy tales. A fractured tale is a re-write of a fairy tale from a character’s point   of view from the tale, or a re-write of the characters, setting, events, etc. Soon, we’ll be watching the fracture of The Wizard of Oz

Seventh graders will be at the Bushnell on Thursday, November 15, 2007. Students should bring their lunches or order from the school cafeteria. No class bottles or containers.

Our expected return time to MMS is 4:30pm. Students may call if we are running late or are earlier than expected.

Students are studying the history of space exploration. We are in chapter 2 of the Astronomy book. There will be an assessment on March 10th. Following the assessment, students will design, build, and test thrust- structures that simulate rocket launching. Finally, students will design and build a greenhouse that can sustain a temperature of at least 10 degrees higher than the outside temperature.
