This week is the first of our two-week WASL testing. Students will be taking their tests Tuesdays, Wednesdays (only 7/8), and Thursdays from 8:35 to 11am. Since that won't leave enough time to meet with all of our classes, two different periods wil be dropped each day we test.

2nd per - 8:41am to 9:33am

6th grade Science:

Monday - Still working on lesson 4 (Using the Energy Stored in a Batter). Today we shared data to get class averages for each of our charging times. We then graphed the averaged times for how long the flashlights stayed lit for each different charging time.
HW - None
Tuesday - Today I only met with my 1st period class and students tested their 180s predictions then began to work on the reflection questions.
HW - None
Wednesday - Today 1st period will complete and we will check the reflection questions. Sixth period will test their 180s predictions and begin the reflection questions.
HW - None
Thursday - Today I will only meet with my 6th period class. They need to finish their reflection questions so that we can check them.
HW - Lesson 4 notes for those who missed part of it.
Friday - Today we finished correcting the lesson 4 reflections.
HW - Next Blog Assignment is to write what they learned about batteries from lesson 2, 3 and 4.

8th grade Science:

Monday - Today we continued working our WASL practice scenario problems.
HW - None
Tuesday - Today I met with my 2nd and 4th period classes and we finished practicing how to write conclusions, then we began an activity on earthquakes.
HW - Finish your WASL practice packet if you didn't finish in class (Wild About Radishes, #7, is extra credit).
Wednesday - Today I will meet with my 2nd and 5th period classes. Fifth period will do what we did yesterday while 2nd period will work on their p and s wave activity.
HW - None
Thursday - Today I met with my 4th period class (2nd period was dropped today due to WASL and we were at an assembly during 5th period). They graphed the wave data.
HW - None
Friday - Today students answered questions from the earthquake waves activity then we checked them and they turned it in. This assignment is from the textbook labs so I cannot put a copy of it here for download due to copyright. If your child needs another copy he or she will need to ask me for another.
HW - None, unless you still owe me the Plate Tectonics blog (many students haven't done that one yet).
