Packets for this unit are also due by the 31st. We will start watching our commercials on the 31st and complete them by November 2nd. We will also start discussing our next unit on electricity. late this week.

7th Grade:

We begin this week with a new unit on structures. Our focus will be how structures support weight and can also look beautiful. Students will work in table groups to compete in building the tallest structure they can and then later in the week we will form groups of 3-4 and begin construction on our paper coasters.

Each group will need a pack of cardstock paper (50 sheets) and at least 3 rolls of clear tape. I have the paper here for $2.00 or they can purchase paper at Michaels or Joannes.

6th Grade:

We just completed testing out our games on Friday and this week, our final week together, we will be learning about architecture.
