 The eighth grade students have had a very exciting time since the last newsletter.
First, all congratulations to students and Mrs. Weaver for an outstanding 88% pass rate and numerous commendable performances on the TAKS reading exam. The students recently took the Mathematics exam and we are looking forward to similar success.
We attended a live theater production at the Convention Center followed by a guided tour of the Alamo. It was a great Field Trip and some of our students experienced their first live stage production. The eighth graders also sponsored the Spring Fling dance which was enjoyed by many 5th-8th graders. The end of the year is fast approaching and information about the eighth grade field trip and end of year celebration will be coming home to you soon.

In Grade 6, the study of science includes conducting field and laboratory investigations using scientific methods, analyzing data, making informed decisions, and using tools such as beakers, test tubes, and spring scales to collect, analyze, and record information. Students also use computers and information technology tools to support scientific investigations.
In Grade 7, the study of science includes conducting field and laboratory investigations using scientific methods, critical-thinking, problem-solving, and using tools such as weather instruments and calculators to collect and analyze information to explain a phenomenon. Students also use computers and information technology tools to support scientific investigations.
In Grade 8, the study of science includes planning and conducting field and laboratory investigations using scientific methods, analyzing data, critical-thinking, scientific problem-solving, and using tools such as telescopes to collect and analyze information. Students also use computers and information technology tools to support scientific investigations.

 Eighth grade math is a great place to learn and grow. We did very well on TAKS this year and we will do so again. We are using a new text book that should enable all of our students to succeed. We will do a lot of hands on, fun projects to increase our grasp of the concepts that we have to cover. Yes, we have a lot of material to cover but with hard work and cooperation, we will be successful. So get ready, cause here we go. I am looking forward to another great year.

 Welcome! In science we are using our minds and our hands to learn about the fascinating world around us. The subjects we will be studying are physics, chemistry, earth and life sciences. We will do activities and laboratories using tools such as microscopes, triple beam balances, thermometers, beakers, flasks, and test tubes. You can expect to learn all about the human body, the laws of motion, the different types of energy, volcanoes and earthquakes, ecosystems, atomic structure, the periodic table, and much much more. Be ready to have fun, work hard and learn a lot of SCIENCE!!
