Thursday, March 12, is the last day of the 2nd trimester and Friday, March 13, is our trimester break so there will be no school on that day. Sixth graders and I are busy scoring and reflecting on their work (specifically their websites) and 8th graders are busy making sure they get all their missing work turned in. By the end of the weekend I will have uploaded progress reports for all students showing their final 2nd trimester grade for Science.
Sixth graders are getting permission to begin blogging about what they are doing in Science. Their first assignment will be to share their water quality websites with some of our blog pals around the world. Eighth graders will also get a progress report for the 3rd trimester because a bunch of the work we’ve been doing the past two weeks are 3rd trimester work and I need students to quickly catch up if they are already behind.
