Team 7O Science
Last week in science we focused on learning the steps to the scientific method through song. This week we are learning to write the hypothesis and conclusion all stemming from a scientific question. The students will be applying this skill to the penny water drop activity where they will determine which side of the penny can hold the most water.
Mrs. Curry and Miss Carr’s Math classes will be completing at least one assignment each chapter as a team. One of these assignments will be a “Team Review” and will be scored as Graded Classwork. The team review can be used as Study Guide for the upcoming test on the chapter. Team work in our class should look like:
We also often allow students to share their answers on a hovercam/projector. The students take turns calling on one another to share the next answer.
Mrs. Mahan’s Academic Literacy class is working on identification of main idea in reading passages. We’re reading various passages and looking for clues about what the real point or purpose of the passage is.

Main Idea
Mrs. McGurk and Mrs. Harnish’s classes are learning about sentence structure by reviewing the parts of speech. Students are also learning about important reading strategies like talking to the text, skimming and scanning, and finding the VIP’s and MVP’s of a text. In the next few weeks, students will be blogging about their books.
In Health class, Mrs. Gillis and her students are off to a great start this year! We have talked about what it means to have a “balanced” health triangle and analyzed our own to see just how healthy we are. Students created a health pamphlet to illustrate either the things they already do, or want to start doing to be physically, mentally/emotionally and socially healthy.
Mr. Conrad's social studies classes are traveling the world! They recently sent postcards that reflect their understanding of the 5 Themes of Geography using the new Google Chromebooks in class.
