Good Monday morning to you all!
I can't believe that school is almost over! This is going to be a week of review and final exams. We are finishing up the bank of questions for our final exam today. There may be a few left we have to go over tomorrow, but they can still study what they have tonight. My final exam will be Thursday and Friday of this week. There are 58 questions that will be taken from the bank of questions that they are studying from and this is why I am giving them two days to take the test. I want to make sure they have plenty of time to take the test in a relaxed atmosphere. Next week, on Wednesday, we are taking a field trip to Shawnee Forest. The last day of school will be a day for the award assembly and games. The rest of the week I will spend with the kids on Whyville. It is a virtual world where they can live in the town of Whyville and interact with the characters there. The town is set up so that the students can only interact with the Whyville characters and my students. It is really fun and safe. I had to be verified that I was a teacher here before I could set up an account. This will be a good way to end the year. Well, it has been so much fun being a part of your child's life this year. If you need anything, please let me know! Have a great and safe summer!! I look forward to seeing your child this fall, when he/she is in 7th grade!!!

Friday, May 3
Hello!
Wow, what a week it has been!!! I was out four days last week sick. Man, I would not wish that on anyone!!! This week was spent getting caught up and finishing what was started with my sub last week. We finally got the test over mitosis taken on Wednesday. It was supposed to be Friday, but I didn't want to the kids to take it with me not here to review with them and remind them of what to study. I was able to tell them exactly what to study and give them a couple of days to go over it before the test by giving it on Wednesday.
We have started our last project for the year this week. It is over microbes and using them for either an alternative energy source or as an environmental clean-up agent. I let each group decide which one they wanted to do. These projects should be completed by Tuesday of next week, so that we can present them on Wednesday. I will not be here on Tuesday because I have a science meeting downtown with other area science teachers. Once this project is finished, we will be working on reviewing for the final exam. This test will be on Thursday, May 16. I will give the kids a test bank of questions to study from and the final test will come from that bank. We will go over all the correct answers to the bank of questions. They will have a few days to study for the test.
Once their final is over, we will getting on a virtual world site called Whyville. It is so much fun! Well, I think that gets us all caught up. Have a great weekend! Talk to you next week!
