Hello 8th grade families!

We've got a lot to pack into this upcoming week.  We dove right into our new unit, Atomic Structure, by learning about the periodic table.  Who invented it?  Why is it organized the way it is?  And how to read it.  We've worked on a couple assignments to help the students with all of these questions.

This week, we'll have a quiz on the periodic table and then finish off with the history of the atom.  We'll discover what scientists believed about atoms throughout history.  And, we'll learn about which scientists made significant discoveries to our current understanding of the atom.

Please let me know if you have any questions.  I'll see you at conferences later this week and have a great spring break!

Best,

Shandi Woodward
