News Updates
6th Graders will take their Moon Quizzes on Tuesday (D class) and Wednesday (B Class) of this week. In class, we built a study guide for all students to complete as their review. A completed study guide handed in on the day of the quiz will count as 1 bonus point. Completing the Discovery Education practice quiz, linked to below, will earn them a another bonus point if they get a 100% on any attempt.
Students will take a quiz on Change Over Time on Thursday (C and E classes) and Friday (A Class). Sections on the quiz include 7-1, 7-2, and the relative and absolute dating part of 8-1.
Here’s the link to the upcoming quiz for 6th graders: Gravity, Galaxies, Stars and the Sun Practice Quiz
Additionally, here is some other info about the quiz:
Will include the following topics:
- 1. Vocabulary Words 1-9
- 2. Types of Galaxies
- 3. Life of a Star (both regular sized and massive)
- 4. How gravity works
- 5. Layers of the Sun (the 4 main layers)
- 6. The connection between star colors and star temperatures and lifetimes.
In the textbook, these concepts are found in Chapter 19, Sections 2 and 3, and Chapter 20 Section 2.
7th graders have a week left to complete their Technology Changes over Time Project. This project includes a typed graphic organizer and a timeline (virtual, website, iMovie, poster, or Prezi, etc…). This project is worth 35 points and will count in the test and quiz category. Attached below are the information sheets, graphic organizer, and information about finding pictures and using various forms of technology.
Remember: Students do not need to make their timeline electronic, they can simple pick up poster paper from class and complete it on there. Neatness counts, so pictures should probably be printed or carefully drawn. Use a ruler!
Due Dates: A class 4/27. C and E classes 4/25

7th Grade:
Hello All!
The end of the quarter is just over a week away so I wanted to send out a few reminders of upcoming important dates. Whew, time flies!
6th Grade classes will be taking their Q3 End of Quarter test (our version of the assessment) on Wednesday and Thursday of next week:
- B Class: Wednesday
- D Class: Thursday
My 7th grade classes will be taking their Q3 assessments on Wednesday and Thursday of next week:
- A Class: Wednesday 3/28
- C Class: Thursday 3/29
- E Class: Wednesday 3/28
Since these dates fall so close to the end of the quarter, it’s very important that all students are present on these days to minimize make-ups.
On the same day as the child’s assessment the following will occur:
- Completed Vocabulary Grid will be collected (about 15 points)
- Science Folder/Notebook to be checked (about 15 points)
- Review Sheet will be collected (about 10 points)
These should be easy points in the last few days of the quarter, so please encourage your student to make extra effort to get them done and turn them in.
A practice quiz is available for the assessment on Discovery Education as we have been doing for every quiz since early December. Students may take this practice quiz as often as they would like and scoring 100% on any attempt will earn them a bonus point on their assessment.
The last day for all work to be turned in– on-time, late, or otherwise– is Friday, March 30th. This day is a half-day and is also Falcon Day. Classes will not be meeting on this day. No late work will be accepted after 11:25am on Friday, March 30th. Extra credit has been available throughout the quarter in the form of Discovery Education Practice Tests. There will not be an additional extra credit assignment available.
Please email me with any questions or concerns that you may have!
Our last quiz of the quarter before our assessment will be this Thursday for C block and Friday for A and E blocks. There is only 1 section from the textbook for this quiz: Chapter 5 Section 1.
This quiz will be in two parts–a vocabulary section and a content section.
A DE practice quiz has been created and is available at the following link: Practice Quiz
Students only need to enter their name–do not change the code. A 100% on any attempt will earn a student a bonus point.
Here are some videos that we have watched in class–and some that we have not, that can help you review for your quiz. In order to access these videos, you must use the following username and password:
