Welcome back.
Thank you to those who helped me "stock the classroom" with supplies. Bonus points for that have been posted on Power School.
If you haven't heard already, science is the exam that is out of the exam rotation for first semester. That means no student will take a science exam this semester.
So, since I am not taking to time to review to prepare students for an exam, I am continuing on to the next unit. I will not have tests or quizzes this week, but we will cover new information. For the most part, the grade you see on Power School will be your child's science grade for the semester. There will be no major grades in the next week.
- We will practice the skill of outlining during nonfiction reading.
- We will use diagrams to organize the steps of a process.
This week I expect to cover photosynthesis - the reactants, the products, the reaction, the location.
New this week:
- We will use quizlet.com as a class assignment. There will be a homework assignment where the kids will add to a quizlet file that will be accessed by the entire class.
This is an alternate study tool that can be used similarly to flash cards. (In fact, if you and/or your child prefer paper flash cards, once the list is complete, there is a way to create "old school" flash cards on quizlet.com with the information posted.)
As always, thank you for what you do at home to support what I'm doing in the classroom. If you have questions or concerns, please email or call!
