Today we heard updates from the students on various space missions. Some are melted into oblivion, some are still going strong and some haven't even been launched yet! We also looked at the Muslim countries of South Asia. We also looked at mixed number coefficients and spent a lot of time going through some of the recent types of problems. Tomorrow we will review for the test Thursday in both math and science.

Today we learned CPR for infants, children, and adults. We also learned what to do if someone is choking. One of our instructors said that the students caught on faster than many adults. The other one said this was the best behaved group of 7th graders he has ever worked with!

Many of the class failed to study for our memory work this morning. ( I guess we know who checks the blog and who doesn't, now ;-)) so I moved it to next week Thursday.

For math we talked about multiplying algebraic terms. The pic above shows you what we did.
