7th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with the Do Now and a simple word problem to get them started.  Next, students were introduced to a hand held math computer called a Flashmaster.  Students will be using these flashmasters on a semi-regular basis in order to improve upon their multiplication and division facts. 

Assignments:  Review Homework #2 is due Friday in class. 

Science: Today in science students began class with the Do Now.  Next, students were given a bit of class time to finalize their scientific summer rough drafts, before we headed down to a computer lab in order to give students time to begin typing up paragraphs 1 and 2 for their final products.  

Assignments:  Students have been asked to come into class on Thursday with both paragraph written and hopefully typed about an activity they chose for the Scientific Summer project.
