6th grade Science:

Monday - Today students will use the following website to complete their Cispus Mt. Saint Helens trip book page. By visiting that website students can fully complete pages 12, 14, 15, and 16 in their trip books (all the Science pages).
HW - None
Tuesday - Today I will show students the pictures I took of Mt Saint Helens going back to 2003.
Then we are going to start changing gears to begin our Water Quality Project. I will show students some videos from years past.
HW - None
Wednesday - Today we will elect two students from each class to be the photographer and videographer for our Water Quality Project. Then I will ask students to select the top three jobs they would like to learn about.
HW - None
Thursday - Today students will learn who got the videographer and photographer jobs, what teams they are in and what water quality jobs they will be studying this year (all based on the choices they gave me for consideration). I tried to give students either the teammates they wanted or one of the top three jobs they wanted or both.
Then they will begin learning about Freshwater Pollution.
HW - None
Friday - Today students will be working on their Freshwater Pollution webquest. I showed them how to use a software program called ReadOutLoud to organize notes taken from the water pollution websites (the program also reads the websites to students).
HW - None

8th grade Science:

Monday - Today I'm going to see how students are doing on their the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill projects.
HW - None
Tuesday - Many teams still need more time so students are still working on their projects (some even need to do more research!).
HW - None
Wednesday - Today is the deadline for finishing the Gulf Oil Spill projects. Teams that are done will work on their Oil Spill Blog. Tomorrow or Friday teams will start to present their projects.
HW - None
Thursday - Today as teams prepare to present we will start when all the teams are ready. Getting ready might take little time or it may take most of the period.
HW - None
Friday - Gulf Oil Spill project presentations continued.
HW - None
