Social Studies:

Monday - The plan was to begin to work on phase 1 of our Canadian Vacation Project. But since we lost so much class time the week before Spring Break, we will focus on Science today. We also have a few presentations to finish. We'll get to them as soon as we can.
We will continue to use our Water Quality notebooks as we continue to take notes from our science textbook in outline format using the SCAN-n-RUN reading strategy. I taught students how to use the SCAN-n-RUN strategy and how to take notes in outline format. We will continue to read Chapter 12 sections 1 and 3 of our Science Explorer Earth Science textbook to take the notes.
Today I will continue taking teams, one at a time, and training them on how to use their water quality testing kits and/or probes while the rest of the class works on their notes.
HW - None, unless you haven't turned in your field trip permission slips.
Wednesday - Today we would have either finished our remaining presentations or began to work on phase 1 of our Canadian Vacation Project.
Instead we needed to do some last minute preparation for our upcoming field trips tomorrow and Friday. Teams made checklists of everything they were going to need to take on the field trips.
3rd period - Project Alert with guest presenter, Kelly Matlock.
End of 5th and 6th periods - WASL practice (Math with Tools).
HW - My morning class, 2/3 block, be ready for our field trip tomorrow, which includes bringing a sack lunch.

Science:

Tuesday - Today we will most likely be going down to the creek and conducting all our water quality tests to collect data. We will use the data we collect to analyze and determine why our creek has such a low biological integrity as per the benthic index of biological integrity test.
HW - None
Thursday - My morning class, 2/3 Block, will be testing sites along the west side of the Hood Canal all day today. Full Day Field Trip (2nd to 6th periods).
HW - My afternoon class, 5/6 block, be ready for our field trip tomorrow, which includes bringing a sack lunch.
Friday - My afternoon class, 5/6 Block, will be testing sites along the east side of the Hood Canal all day today. Full Day Field Trip (2nd to 6th periods).
HW - None
