Biology will study Kariotypes and genetic diseases. Earth Science will wrap up the study of plate tectonics.

Second Semester has begun!

With the new semester comes some changes at ASOU.  We will no longer have rotating homework.  Instead students will have math homework everyday.  Homework will be assigned in other classes as needed.

Child Development will start the semester with an introduction to the class and reasons why learning about children is important.  English will be setting the foundation for reading the novel To Kill A Mockingbird.  Biology will begin the semester learning about DNA, and then talk about genetics.  Earth Science is starting off the semester learning the basics of plate tectonics.

Let's have fun learning!
