8-205 Ms. Black

I know that everyone is enjoying their Christmas vacation, but I want to remind the hardworking and studious students of SFA that there are assignments to be completed. A great way to start the new year is to have all your assignments up to date. Having overdue or late work is going to drag you down. Start the new year off in a spectacular way...

Social Studies 7th and 8th grade
*Research for Country Project
*Complete all Castle Learning Assignments

Remember that reading is a great way to spend some of your vacation time. Wander through the library and find a great book !! Don't forget that you have a book report due for Ms. Villafane on January 9, 2009.

Science 7th and 8th grade
*Castle Learning Assignmetns are due 1/7/09

Math 7th and 8th grade
Remember to check Castle Learning for Math assignments.
