Nieman - Week of 16 Nov

MS Bible / Christian Edu

6th - We'll finish our Christianity packets this week and begin with the Gospel of Matthew after Thanksgiving.

7th - We'll spend a few days in Galatians and also make Christmas cards for our Liberian pen-pals.

8th - Good job on your portfolios so far. Look for a new calendar for our class next week.


7th Life Science...

This past week was crazy and short...but we've begun to think about our Science Fair (SF) projects.

Please read the following info carefully; lots to think about here in terms of this major MS project:

  • Please follow the due dates on the calendar that you and your parents signed...and keep it at home once you've brought it back to me.

  • Staying on track with the due dates are crucial...don't fall behind...and PLEASE ask for help as we go through this process.

  • 7th graders can expect this year's SF to be more complicated and intensive; that's the idea - each year it gets a bit more demanding.

Assignments:

Mon 16 and Tues 17 Nov - Work on your Testable question and Hypothesis.

Wed 18 Nov - Finalized and approved Testable Question and Hypothesis is due

"If you fail to plan, then you're planning to fail"
