Students have been given a LIfe Science Review Outline for their Midterm Exam on Tuesday, December 13th.  Noon Dismissal for 7th/8th students on both Tuesday and Thursday after midterms.

Test taking strategies and study resources have been discussed.  Students should be organizing and preparing now, not waiting until the last minute. Vocabulary, Tests, and the Chapter Summaries are a good resource for reviewing information.

I have posted this review outline outside of the Science Lab incase a student loses their review and needs to copy it.
