This week is a week of firsts:
(1) Our first unit test is Monday.
(2) Our first notebook check is Monday.
(3) Mrs. Harris's first absence will be Friday. (If you're wondering, I'm going to visit my son at College Family Weekend in New York.)
We will be starting unit two this week - It's Alive!
We will be studying characteristics of living things, compounds found in living things, and nutrition.
By next Tuesday, Sept 23, you need to have the following for an in-class project:
(1) a standard size piece of poster board (approximately 56 cm by 71 cm) - either white or some light color (You'll be writing on it with markers, so don't choose dark blue or black.)
(2) a colored (not black) sharpie pen (to use when you write on the poster) - Just bring one. We'll share with others.
(3) 2-3 appropriate magazine(s) that you will be cutting up -- Examples: Better Homes & Gardens, Sports Illustrated, National Geographic, etc. Hollywood or teen gossip magazines such as Us, People, etc are NOT acceptable.
(4) a glue stick
(If you have all four things, you may bring them on Thursday 9/18. Do not give supplies to the substitute teacher! If you don't have them this week, just bring them on Tuesday 9/23.)
