Final Blog

Since we are off next Monday for Memorial Day and we will be presenting our projects the rest of the week, I believe this will be our last blog.  With that being said, what did you think about blogging this year?  Did you like doing it or dislike doing it?  Do you wish we could have done it more or less?  Is there something else you wish I would have posted about?  Any recommendations on how I could do this better next year?  Finally, what was your favorite post that we did this year?
Thanks for a great year!  I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have!  Good Luck in the 8th grade!!

The end of the year ....

As your 7th grade year comes to a close, what have you enjoyed this year?  What was your favorite thing we did in science?  What do you wish we could have covered?  What would you do different?
