What's the news?

We are starting to move into our study of rocks by beginning with minerals.  We will be finishing up scientific method stuff this week as well.  I am working on getting copies of what we are cutting and gluing online.  They are from a book I borrowed (and will be purchasing very soon), so I will have to scan in the documents.  If there are any emergencies, let me know!

Here are some pictures from class today - we were finishing up our scientific method posters.  Students started with a set of cards.  They worked together to determine the order of the steps and then created a poster with the steps, as well as reasoning why each step was where it was.  The class then voted on the best poster and that group received a prize!

DEALS!

Parents and Students-

I am out of my 10 cent composition books (I was able to get 22 before the start of the year... and I bought out the store!).  BUT there is good news!  I just saw an ad on TV for Walmart - they have composition books for 40 cents, and a 12 pack of Crayola colored pencils for 97 cents.  Get these deals while they last if you still have some shopping to do!

When we get to astronomy, you'll laugh!

Metric Mania!

We have been going crazy studying the Metric System this week. Students now have an in depth knowledge about using metric lab tools and how to convert units. We finished notes today. The powerpoint is below.
