6th grade Science:

Monday - Students will continue to work on their Salmon Life Cycle Webquest.
HW - None
Tuesday - Students will continue to work on their Salmon Life Cycle Webquest.
I was done grading 4th period's old notebooks so I gave them back today. They were instructed to put those notebooks into their Eagle Time portfolios for student-led conferences.
HW - None
Wednesday - Students will finish their Salmon Life Cycle Webquest today and I will show them how to save their Inspiration mind maps as pictures to put on their Water Quality Websites in May.
HW - None
Thursday - Today I passed out updated progress reports. Students are still finishing their notes and Inspiration mind maps.
Then we will begin to work on taking notes from our Prentice Hall Earth Science textbook, Ch 12 on Fresh Water Resources.
HW - None
Friday - Today we are practicing how to use the SCAN-n-RUN reading strategy using our science textbook Ch 12, section 1, page 394.
HW - None

7th grade Science:

Monday - We looked at samples of student's shape floating quiz so that students could see what their answers looked like. We also discussed which were the best answers.
Then students continued to take notes on Ch 6, sections 1 and 2 in Outline Format.
HW - None
Tuesday - Students continued to take notes on Ch 6, sections 1 and 2 in Outline Format.
I passed back the floating shapes quizzes today and I also gave students back their old notebooks. Students were instructed to take samples of their 1st and 2nd trimester work to put in their Eagle Time portfolios for student-led conferences next week. Students could put their entire old notebook into their portfolios to show parents samples of their science writings.
HW - None
Wednesday - We are getting close to finishing Ch 6, sections 1 and 2. Today is the last day to work on these notes. I have made myself available at lunch and after school for students to finish their notes if they fell behind because the volcano notes are their first 3rd trimester grades.
HW - None
Thursday - Today I passed out updated progress reports. Then we began an activity comparing earthquake P and S wave times.
HW - None
Friday - Today we will finish our earthquake P and S wave activity. Then students will get to work on the next section of their Earth Movement project.
HW - Finish your Speed of Earthquake Waves activity (too many students were socializing and not working so I had to assign it for homework so we could correct it and move on).
