Remember that your composition books being completed will be a quiz grade at the end of the six weeks -- do not get behind.

Quiz Grades

The Chapter 1 Quiz grades were not great overall.  There will be an additional assignment in class for students who need help in that area.  You will use the quiz questions that you got incorrect, and make something we can put up in the room, to help us remember that information.  It will be due Friday, so that it can be included in progress report grades.

Remember you have a quiz over the bellringer on Friday, this could also help your quiz average.

Materials

Please bring composition books by Friday!!

Students are also encouraged to bring any supplies they wish to decorate the cover & title page of their composition book.  Stickers, colored paper, ribbon, etc., but all materials & decorations must be school appropriate.

Many students still need folders and donations.  I appreciate the donations we have had so far.

A New Journey ...

A new school year is starting up. For those of you who may be checking out the site early, I am posting your supply list. You will be creating your own textbook this year - an Interactive Science Notebook. For this project you will need:

• composition book (no spirals) - please have by Friday 8/28
• colored pencils
• glue sticks
• blue or black pens ( pencils for tests)

You will also need a pocket folder (with or without brads) for your science starters. I will also be asking of donations of supplies that the classes as a whole consume each year. Each of the following donations will be assigned to a specific class, but if you would like to take advantage of the back to school sales, you are welcome to bring any of these:

• colored pencils
• 8 ct markers
• glue sticks
• box of Kleenex
• pair of scissors

I am looking forward to teaching you this upcoming year.

The end of a year and beginning of a new year!

As this year ends, I am trying to prepare for the year to come. The new blog is not as easy to access from school sites, but allows for subscriptions by parents. A new AP blog will most likely be added as well. I hope you have a safe and happy summer!

Pig Dissection Pictures!

These are a few pictures of the pigs we dissected today. Make sure you can identify all parts from the study sheet. (Not all parts were photographed.) I hope this helps!!

A new place

This is an upgrade of my previous classroom blog. This site will allow greater access by parents and students. All feedback is welcome.
