7G Science Assignments

It’s easy to let a whole year go by and never take the time to reflect on what
you’ve learned—and this year while very different, should not be totally different. Think about
some of the things you learned over the past year, both in and out of school, and write a letter
to your future self as a reminder.
Please follow the detailed directions that are attached to help you write your letter.
