We are now halfway through the month of January and working hard towards the Gulf Shore Science Fair. All Science classes are reminded that this week they should be working on completing their hypothesis, purpose and research for their science fair project. Additionally, if students have not yet purchased their backboards, they are reminded to do so.

Here is a peek into what we will be discussing during our classes these next few days….

French- We continue our unit in #LaClasse, working towards our final project of a travel journal. Additionally, we continue to read and discuss our read aloud novel “Mamie Gangster” and engage in interactive warm-ups to practice our oral language skills. Our work will also continue our work on the differences between the passé composé and imparfait verb tenses.

Science-Science-This week we will wrap up our look at the stages of both pregnancy and life and begin our study of different methods of contraception, exploring how they prevent pregnancy.

Grade 9 Science-We have now completed all the new learning for our unit on transformations of matter and energy. This week will be spent reviewing as we work towards our final assessment on these concepts which will take place on Day 4.

Grade 7 Science-As we near the end of our ecology unit, this week we will look at food chains and changes and adaptations different species use to survive.

Grade 9 English Science-Our look at the periodic table will wrap up this week. We will spend some time reviewing the concepts we have seen in Chapter 5 and prepare to write an assessment on these concepts in the coming days.

Wishing you all a great week!
