6th grade Science:

Monday - Today students will have more time to finish putting their water pollution webquest brochures on their class blogs. They need to put their pictures on and to cite their sources.
Students will also work on reading each other's work and leaving comments (following the commenting guidelines I've showed them in class - also posted on our class moodle).
HW - None
Tuesday - Today it's time for students to read and comment on each other's work.
Then students will reflect on their work throughout this project by answering some questions. I want them to focus on improving for the next project. Any improvement is good.
There will be no Eagle Time today due to the Veteran's Day assembly.
HW - None
Wednesday - Today I gave students more time to finish their peer review work by reading each other's work and commenting. Then students completed their self-assessment.
HW - None
Thursday - No School Today - Veteran's Day!
HW - None
Friday - Today students got time to check their blogs to make sure their water pollution was reviewed by their peers. Then they read more water pollution blog in case they hadn't reviewed one yet. Those that were all done with peer reviews read and commented blogs of kids in other schools. I'm having students reach out to kids in other schools so they can get themselves a broader audience to read their work!
HW - None

8th grade Science:

Monday - Today teams need to start running the labs and begin the data collection phase.
