Time Flies!

As you can tell, I have been busy with school! We are taking things a little slow - the increase in workload for 7th grade has been a bit difficult. Priorities for the next couple of weeks include:

• Writing/History - continue to teach the various writing assignments that are part of our history program
  
• Study Skills - particularly determining the main idea of the text and developing an outline from the reading material
• Design Your Own Experiment - this is part of science, and will involve choosing a myth to investigate (are yawns contagious, do fresh eggs float, etc.); writing experiment directions, carrying out the experiment, preparing a poster as a visual aid and giving a brief oral report on the experiment and it's results
• First Science Lab - determining how to keep cut flowers fresh

By the end of next week I hope we will be up to a full schedule!
