REMINDER: 6th and 7th grade bake sale November 4th

Dear Parents:

It's been a busy year in social studies as middle school travels the globe and explores the U.S.

Sixth grade is currently exploring the world of ancient Egypt. From Egypt, they will travel on to ancient India and then visit ancient China.

Seventh and eighth grade is spending their time at home in the U.S..

Seventh grade has travelled back to colonial times and is learning about the development of colonies. They will then follow the road to independence and eventually fight for freedom in the American Revolution.

Eighth grade is learning about U.S. imperialism before moving on to World War I and then the Jazz Age.

 

Sixth and Seventh grade science has gotten off to a "shaky" start as we learn about earthquakes. Next we will "erupt" into volcanos as we study the volcanic process. Following this unit, we will move on to explore the rock cycle.

Eighth grade science is focused on biology. We are presently fighting diseases before moving on to the "systems". The first system to be examined will be the nervous system followed by the endocrine system and then reproduction.

For both social studies and science, quizzes are given after each section. A chapter test is given at the end of every chapter.

Mr. Corsello
