Today's Quote:

Recap:

8th graders went back to the drawing board and we rehashed the speed formula since there seemed to be so much confusion. I reminded all classes that while I do the best job possible teaching them, they ABSOLUTELY MUST open their book or computer and STUDY. These links will help!

In 7th grade, we completed the external anatomy of the frog and will have a POP quiz today. We managed to cut the lower jaw bone in preparation of studying the internal structure of the mouth and the beginning of the digestive system.

With the confusion over speed and velocity, I have had to call in the big guns and use a freind's video.
