It is always so nice to get back into our routines after the holiday break. As I discussed in last week’s post, the next month or so leading up to our annual Science Fair will be very busy, but most definitely exciting ones here at Gulf Shore.

Please continue to refer to our school website and Facebook page for school events and messages. Additionally, it is important to mention, as the winter weather is upon us, that we are part of the Bluefield family of school in case of weather related cancellations and delays.

Let’s take a look at what will be taking place during our classes this week…

French- As we work through our unit in #LaClasse, students will continue work on their travel journals, we as always, will engage in some fun warm-ups to get us speaking in French and of course, we continue our read aloud novel “Mamie Gangster.”

Science-This week we will wrap up our study of the organs that make up the human reproductive system. With that complete, we will begin to prepare for a quiz on these concepts that will take place later on this week or early next week.

Grade 9 Science-As we work through Chapter 7, over the next few days students will continue their look at physical and chemical transformations of matter and will shift their focus to energy and its transformations. Students when then use their knowledge of these concepts to work on a case study about air bags and the transformations that occur when they are deployed in the event of an accident.

Grade 7 Science-Moving on in our ecology this week, we will look at abiotic and biotic factors as well as how different organisms get their energy (producers and consumers).

Grade 9 English Science-We will continue to examine the trends of the periodic table throughout our discussions these next few days.

Have a fantastic week!
