Mrs. Kahler's 8th Grade Science Class

Friday, February 16, 2007



Happy February! Hope you are all keeping healthy. The weather and the server being down has caused me to miss a couple weeks of blogging, I am truly sorry. As you all know from the homework from last week, that we have begun Reproductive Health. We have talked about puberty, the stages of puberty for males and females, and the male and female reproductive system.

The team is anticipating having a locker clean out on Friday, February 23rd. That way students can get any late work turned in from their lockers and they can start fresh when they get back from mid-winter break.
