Wow! How time flies by! It has been a very busy week for us. We finished up the notes on sedimentary rock and I even put them on this blog. They are on the home page listed under link "Sedimentary". Just click on the word and all the notes will come up. You can print them off, if you need to. We, also, completed Lab #5, so the students will have this sheet in their folders. They can use this for extra credit at the end of the grading period AND we will be using it as part of their study notes, when we take the test over sedimentary rocks.
Today, we started our projects for sedimentary rocks. Each group of students will be researching something related to that type of rock. I have not decided what computer tool I want to use with this project. I want the kids to focus on the research first and not the tool to put the research on. I hope that makes sense.
We are going to be starting science fair projects, too. These projects are voluntary. I do NOT make then a requirement. Students get extra credit if they complete a project and follow the scientific method. I will be talking to the students to get a count of how many will be completing one and give them the packet. I have additional information to give them, as well, when I find out how many are completing a project.
We are still doing bellwork at the beginning of each class, so you should be seeing bellwork in your child's folder. I collect those at the end of the week. Oh, don't forget that we need the entrance money for the Bob Evan's field trip next Friday. The money is due by next Thursday. That is one week from today. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
Well, I think that is about it for this week. Talk to you next week!!!
