Upcoming Tests/Quizzes- none.
As always, we covered many topics in class with our weekly warm-ups, but one particular topic we went in depth on was coordinate vs. cumulative adjectives.
We wrapped up the last unit of vocab before the break.
We finished Maze Runner and will be doing an outline as the final project of the book.
Next week, I will be showing the Maze Runner movie. It is PG-13, so if you don’t want your child watching the movie, please have them tell me so.

Science w/ Mrs. Farris –

Upcoming Tests/Quizzes – no test or quiz scheduled
Students presented their Extremophile Alien Project to the class, showcasing their creativity and scientific knowledge. (A few will share theirs next week!)
Seeing them take actual scientific facts and imagine alien life forms that could survive on their chosen planets was exciting.
This project captured the fun and curiosity of science as students explored the unknown and imagined the possibilities of life beyond Earth, reminding us that science is as much about exploring mysteries as it is about what we already know.
