Tuesday - no school Thursday and Monday

6th grade: We reviewed invertebrates today and then teams worked together to determine if pictures of invertebrates had asymmetrical symmetry, radial symmetry or bilateral symmetry. Finally we worked again on the difference between dicot plants and monocot plants by tracing leaves.

7th grade: We reviewed the vocabulary words for element, molecule and compound and looked at the molecules and compounds we made yesterday to emphasize what we learned. Then students got into teams and filled out the chart from yesterday. We learned what elements went into our foods, how they functioned and what foods were carbogydrates, lipids, proteins and then we covered nucleic acids also.

Part of TALL was spent in an assembly on not bullying. The high school class officers came and presented a short presentation to the middle school students.

Tonight is a meeting at the middle school dealing with how school patrons want the funds used for the school. The meeting begins at 6:30.

Parent teacher conferences will be moved back to October 13th.
