7th- 8th Grade: Week of April 13-17

Hello,
A few exciting activities are planned for this week related to our Mystery Class project, which is drawing to a close. As the last few Fridays have been disrupted we will catch up on our work this Monday (May 13). On Friday we will receive the last of our clues and will spend the period using the Internet (please bring in book atlases from home if you have them) and our clues to determine the city and country of your assigned Mystery Class. Here are some important dates:
May 1 Deadline for your Answers! By popular request, you have TWO weeks to prepare your answers. No late entries will be accepted.
May 8 Locations of the Mystery Sites revealed!

We will be finishing up simple machines this week with a pre-test on Wednesday and short test on Thursday. So the homework and DUE date for this week are:

Thursday, April 16: Study for Simple Machines test.

Friday, April 17: Let's pretend you are a Mystery Class. Create four separate written interdisciplinary (history, geography, or cultural) clues for Twin Falls with the first clue being national/regional and the last three about Idaho/Twin Falls.

Have a great week,
-Mr. Pfiester
