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

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. They are also to bring in a picture of themselves participating in that activity or a picture that represents their chosen activity.
