English MCAS is over!
Students have not had any homework during that period, however we are well into Chapt. 5. We've been taking apart cones and flowers in class and learning about their life cycles. They should have read and completed their vocab for Sections 1, 2, and 3. pages 140 through 161. On Friday(4/4) they will have a quiz on gymnosperms and angiosperms.

Students received their tests from Chapt. 4 back on Thurs.
Thanks to all parents who sent in baked goods. Students will probably always think back to this event when 3.14 rolls around.
We have started Chapt. 5-Seed Plants, on page 139. Tonight's homework was to read Sect.1, pages 140-149, and add the ten key terms found on page171 for that section to their vocab. By Thurs. (last day of this week), we'll have completed the section rev. and will be having a quiz on section 1.

Due Thurs., 2/7
We have finished Section 2 about the effects of Algal Blooms. Students will be building off two days of reading, discussing, and working with scenarios about algal blooms in salt and fresh water. They will complete this section by analyzing a situation on page 94 and writing 3 paragraphs using their knowledge of eutrophication and its environmental impact on society.
On Fri. we will have a short quiz to revisit their illustrated "Quest" on Protist from the week of 2/4. The last section deals with fungi and we'll be working through pages 95-106.
By the end of next week (preceeding vacation) we will have worked on our rough drafts in class for our science book reports; passed them in, and finished Chapt 3. Thurs., 2/14, and Fri., 2/15, we will be reviewing and testing for Chapt 3 as well as completing book report rough drafts.
PLEASE KEEP REMINDING YOUR CHILD TO READ!!!! THANK YOU.
