Agenda for Week of Nov. 8 for both A-block and B-block

It is a short week so I am just combining the agenda's for the week. Cell-a-bration project rough draft was due this week. The final due date is Nov. 22 for A-block and Nov. 23 for B-block. Students should continue to work on making their projects better for the final turn in day. The homework for the long weekend is to work on the Cell-a-bration project. We also checked INB's for the second time this quarter. We will be having a Chapter 3 test next week so be ready for it. It will be Wednesday Nov. 17 for B-block and Thursday Nov. 18 for A-block that way the day before the test we can have a review day after the long weekend. Grades are due for me on Monday so students only have tomorrow to see me if there is a mistake on the grade. Remember it is only a progress report so students can still see me for any problems and the grade will be fixed for the final Quarter 2 grade report. Have a wonderful long weekend and see you next week.

Have a great day!

Grades are Updated

I have updated the grades so check to make sure I did not miss something of yours. I have been out sick, I won't be back until Friday I think, unless I feel 100% tomorrow. Don't forget to finish the reproduction packet for homework. A - Block due Friday and B-block due Monday. I am not sure if we will continue with the switching of girls to another class since I am out. We will probably just correct the packet and that will be enough information on reproduction. Students if you have questions that did not get answered during our discussion please remember to have an open line of communication with your parents and you will benefit from it so just ask them your questions. Parents I know as your child's first teacher this is might be difficult for you to discuss with your child but if you don't they just get wrong information from their friends and classmates. Let me know if I can help in anyway. Stay healthy since it seems like cold season has started. Have a great day!

Fall Break Week Agenda

Last week went flying by so I did not get a chance to update the agenda section. We reviewed for the benchmark and then A block took the benchmark on Friday. B-block will take it on Monday. INB was also due for A-block which most kids got their scores in but some will have to do it this week. This week coming up, Week of October 11 will be a discussion on Reproduction. Girls will be taught by the female science teachers and boys will be taught by male teachers. We had a great success last school year with this method of teaching reproduction. We will focus on what is in the book. There will be worksheets done mostly in class, but if students do not finish them they will have to do them for homework. If you have any questions please contact me. We will be starting Tuesday during the E day and Finishing up on Thursday. Friday is the end of the Quarter and I plan to have the grades done by Thursday so if there are any mistakes we can take care of them on Friday. Frog dissection will either be the end of this week or early next week.

Week of Sept. 20 Update

Its been a busy week and I have not had a chance to update the site for Homework and the agenda. Remember the best place to look for your homework is in your binder reminder just for situations as this. Make sure you are writing detailed entries into your binder reminders so you have the homework at your finger-tips. Most of the homework for this week was spent on Visual terms and finishing up the workbook pages for Chapter 13. We will have a Chapter 13 Test Monday Sept. 27 for A-block and Tuesday Sept. 28 for B-block. We are also still working on the Owl Pellet Lab Foldable in class which is the project for Quarter 1. Hope this helps with your planning for the weekend. Have a great day!

Progress Report Grades

If your child has a C or below you will see "In Danger of Failing Class" as one of the comments. This is only a warning, it does not mean they will fail science for the quarter grade. Please have students complete any missing assignments or complete the Test Improvement assignment to get half the points back they missed on tests to help low test scores. You can find the Test Improvement assignments on my web site under the Improvement tab. Each Test on the site corresponds to a test we will have in science. Hope this helps to keep students on track. Have a great day!

Squid Lab Today!

Today we had a great day working with the squids. We had a little problem with ants wanting our squids but we handled ourselves pretty good against them. The kids had a great time. There is no homework for the weekend unless students did not finish the work from the week. We did not get a chance to check the homework so we will have to do it next week. Don't forget the test is coming up so prepare yourselves. I have decided the test will be all multiple choice, even the part on the microscopes so hopefully that will lessen the stress for some of you. Have a great weekend and I will see you next week. Stay safe and have fun. Have a great day!
