7th and 8th Science Switch Up

By Emmasae Hallen

Get ready 7th and 8th graders! On Monday, the scientific geniuses of GBS will switch from Ms. Egan's to Mrs. Leclerc's classes. The 7th grade smarties in Mrs.Leclerc's class will switch to Ms. Egan's and the ones in Ms.Egan's will switch to Mrs. Leclerc's. Then the 8th grade Einsteins will do the same thing, but Mr. Bolduc's class will stay the same.

"They are so great, I don't want to get rid of them. But I can't wait for the other group of kids," Mrs. Leclerc said. Some kids groaned and some kids cheered when they heard about switching.

"I love Ms. Egan and Mrs.Leclerc but I don't want to switch. It confuses me and I wont know what I am doing," said an 8th grader from GBS.

In Ms. Leclerc's class for 7th grade they do many things. They have been learning a lot about energy.

"We have been learning about kinetic energy which is the energy that is stored. Potential energy is the energy that's is pushed up," 7th grader Andrew Hunt said.

But in Ms. Egan's class they have been learning about cells and microscopes.

"Ms. Egan is a lot of fun but she yells sometimes," Tyler Phillips said.

In Mrs. Leclerc's 8th grade class they have been learning about the periodic table and its elements.

"[Ms. Leclerc] is so nice about everything and she helps me with alot of my work," Erik Lakus said.

In Ms.Egan's 8th grade science they have been learning about evolution and genes.

"The best part of the class is doing all the activities she does with us. I love it," Angie LaFave said.

Are you wondering why they are switching classes? Well, they are switching because Ms. Egan teaches life science and Ms. Leclerc teaches physical science. The reason they are doing it that way is because they thought it would be easier for them that way. Instead of making a ton of lessons to go throughout the year, they can make a few and do them each twice. If they didn't like one they could try something else. So be prepared 7th and 8th graders, for the scientific switch up!
