The tests are done! The tests are done! Well the Terra Nova ones are at least.   We also took a look at using a compass to make a regular triangle and a regular hexagon. We also talked about writing descriptive paragraphs. We continued our discussion of Latin America and took a science test.

Memory Work for CL: Lesson 5 for Friday

Welcome to another wild and wacky week in 7th grade. Actually today was really neither wild or wacky, although we did get our heads spining trying to understand atoms, atomic bonds, and the periodic table. Don't worry, we will go through it again. We also reviewed how to change fractions around. We whipped through the geo test in no time and managed to look at more sentences and classify them.

Happy Friday of our first full week! I was informed that we are already about 1/10th of the way through the year. Amazing. Today we looked at Galatians again and marveled that God has given us his word and not something made up by men. We also looked at another kind of story problem in math today. All the story problems we have been doing are fairly easy math, but the difficulty comes in making sure we have the equation right in the first place. We also learned more about Leonardo as an inventor, went through the sights and sounds of some percussion instruments, and prepared for our Monday geography test. Have a great weekend. See you at Faith and Fun and GO PACK!

Another day living in God's grace. Thanks for joining us! Today we continued to play with numbers and words reviewing old ways to use them and learning some new ones. We also had fun reviewing our states and capitals for the map test tomorrow. Then we finally had to get to work taking our science test, but it was a short one so that wasn't too bad. Then we learned some more about what happened to Brian. We finished off the day finding out why the police showed up right where Max and Worm happened to be.

Today was another very busy day! We talked about the branches of government and spent some special time on the Supreme Court. In fact we found out that "the longest serving justice was William O. Douglas, who retired in November, 1975, after 36 years and six months on the bench."

We also talked about how science develops along with improvements in technology, yet it isn't perfect. We looked at some simple story problems. Don't worry, harder ones are coming.
