As we finish up our Earth Science Unit, we'll be covering one more MA standard that focuses on the relationship between human activity and climate. I use some material from this website, which I think is fantastic, and they're running a video contest. Any takers??!!

Next Friday, 11/3, during our Team time, all 8th grade students will be tie dying shirts Purple.
We'll use these shirts for community service events and pep rallies. I'm excited to see how they turn out!
We're using a non-toxic spray on product called Tumble Dye. Once the dye is heat-set it should wash and wear nicely.
