NEWSLETTER:
In 6th Grade, we're studying Weather and Atmosphere, and students are building knowledge on precipitation and how we measure temperature. For a fun, kind of gross look at what isn't precipitation, check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p11qN9cIl6E. Next week, we'll start our Huff 'n Puff Interdisciplinary Unit. In 7th Grade, we are learning about Studying People Scientifically, such as how scientists uncover the causes and treatment for diseases such as Pellagra. Then we will begin to learn about the structure and function of selected human organs and organ systems.
Don't forget to attend PTO / SGC Kick off at Ripp on 10/1, and especially,
Open Schools Night on 10/8.
Sixth grade kicks off our Huff 'n Puff Interdisciplinary Unit next week.
