What Did We Do in Class Today? Was Homework Assigned?
SCIENCE: Today students will start designing a lab (inquiry lab) in which they get to pick a variable to test how it influences the amount of flips it takes to get a water bottle to land flat on the bottom of the bottle. If you haven't already, feel free to google "water bottle flip" and see what the hype is all about.
ELA(Mrs. Goodwin and Ms. Nielsen): Today students are continuing their research for their informational project. They will have tomorrow and Friday to finish preparing their presentations. Students will be taking a Benchmark Test on Thursday; they may complete a Socrative assignment for credit of which will help them to study for the Benchmark test. They may access this assignment via eCampus.
ELA (Mrs. Brown): Students will continue reading "A Family in Hiding"
MATH (Mrs. Boyd and Mr. Powell-Deppe): Today students will start creating a lesson to teach their peers over a topic we have learned since the beginning of the year. Students will be put into groups that will then decide how they want to reteach and review their topic to the other students in the class.
SOCIAL STUDIES: Students are creating a board game from these choices: Article 1, Article 2, Article 3 or the Bill of Rights!
