Summer Time!

It's hard to believe school has been out for almost a month already! I hope everyone is enjoying some summer fun. Today I plan to head out to the Riverfest parade with the kids. Bring on the candy!

Last Day!

Well it's hard to believe the last day is here.  I can honestly say this year has flown by!  The seventh graders are a fun, energetic class, that is responsible and respectful.  I am going to miss them next year.  Thank goodness they are only eighth graders so I will still get to see them.  Enjoy your summer!  

  

Spring Fling

Last week's spring fling went great!  Friday was our fun day; we had olympic competitions, soccer games, the Autism walk, lunch outside, a talent show and yearbook signing.  Below I have posted a slide show of the week's fun.  The students will get to see this on Wednesday at our meeting for Valley Fair.  

 

Sociology

Over the past few days we have been talking about the 5 different groups.  Family, Education, Religion, Government and Economic

To finish off the school year we will be focusing on family by discussing the different types of families and how they interact.  We will be looking at examples of this through TV shows.  The students will be filling in some information on these shows.  They also have an opportunity for extra credit by watching shows outside of school and filling out the extra sheets.  

Tomorrow is Spring Fling!   

Last Unit!

On Monday we finished up psychology with a review of the unit.  

Tuesday we started studying sociology.  This is the study of people's behavior in groups.  We discussed the four types of groups sociologist study.  Primary (family, friends), secondary (larger, such as work, neighbors, etc), community (town), and society (country).

Today we talked about society rules and regulations...more on that later!

We've been busy planning spring fling in the middle school.  Next week Friday will be a fun day for all students!  I'll try to post pictures.
