Great week for observing worms!

Tests on Chapt. 1 have been passed back as well as Balto found poems and lab reports.
We have started Chapter 2 and are dealing with viruses. Students have been assigned Sect. 1, pages 48-54 to read. They must have their cartoons which depending on the MCAS schedule, some have been assigned but all will have it formally presented on Wednesday. They also must have their questions completed in their notebooks from page 54 as well as the key terms from Section 1 found on page 75. Because of the MCAS testing and early release, these assignments have been worked on in class with a due date of Friday or Mon. if we don't meet on Fri.
Folks who are still outstanding on Balto need to come after school on Thurs.
Any extra shopping bags will be appreciated as their are many uncovered books. This, too, will become an after school activity.

Pop quiz on homework was handed back today. If students had done their assigned reading and filled in their chart, then the quiz was simply transferring the same data from notes to paper.
Chapter 1 has been covered and a Test is scheduled for Thurs. Between Pi Day being celebrated Tuesday, the 16th, with related activities and our MCAS Pep Rally on Friday, Thursday was the next available date that we could schedule with all classes meeting the proceeding day.
Today we had some review work in class that if not finished, needed to be included in the homework assignment-Page 44, 1-10.
There will be more review work and all papers should be completed before Thursday.
The final Balto Found Poem as well as the lab report will be due on Fri.

We have a variety of ongoing projects.
In class we have been working on our Found Poems. However, if students have not passed in their rough drafts from their Balto article, then they need to to finish it for homework and pass it in tomorrow(Thursday). We have covered Sections 1 & 2 in class with one homework assignment of finishing the Section 1 Review on P23, (1-4). Section 2 is so short that we have read and discussed it in class. We will start Section 3 Thurs. with a homework assignment of reading and looking up the key terms. This section deals with classification, binomial nomenclature and taxonomy and we'll have a quiz on Fri. with students employing a mnemonic to remember the seven levels of classification.
We also have started radish seeds in a controlled experiment that students are collecting data for their lab reports.
Pi Day is an annual event that will be celebrated Wed., March 17. Students are encouraged to bring in some "Pi" related snacks, pies, cookies to share, remembering we have student allergic to peanuts.
