Now its time to get some more work done.  

Here in 7th Grade Science class, we're wrapping up our unit on Plate Tectonics with a chapter test on Thursday.  The final is on next Thursday, June 11.   Students are in the middle of their Language Arts final, with more to come tomorrow.  They can study a vocab list to prepare, I'm told.  In Ms. DiNardo's math class, students are reviewing for their final, and should have a Review packet for math homework.  In Social Studies, students are learning about the Middle East, including nations such as Mesopotamia, and the influence of faiths such as Islam.
