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.
