Here's what's happening!!

Science - Today we finished "Seasons" and tomorrow we start "Moons", which will be our last unit. Monday the 27th we will have a review and on Tues. the 28th the test. The test will include: Gravity, Tides, Seasons, Moon Phases, and a couple Planetary facts. Also on Monday the 27th, during advisement time, we will do the egg drop, so be ready!!! If you and your team members haven't prepared for the drop you best get moving! The following Monday, May 4th, during advisement you will make your Science Fair poster telling about your egg drop.

Math - Yesterday we reviewed graphing points (Unit 1 - Skill 6) and today we started "Relations Between Two Variables" (Unit 3 - Skill 11). This is where we find "the rule" between the variables. When you have mastered that, we will take it further and eventually use it for graphing.

Writing - Your Research Project was handed in yesterday, I hope! If you forgot anything, bring it in to Mrs. Muldoon tomorrow. You should have turned in the final report, the rough draft, your outline, and 15 index cards. For tonight's homework you are to write 8 sentences using linking verbs (am, i, are, look, taste, feel, seemed, become).

Reading - We are now reading "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry". You must have already turned in the Chapter 1-3 vocabulary word definitions and 10 of the words used in 10 sentences. For each chapter you should write a review page, which includes: visualize, question, predict, connect, and summary. Today's homework is to write the summary from what we've read so far.
Social Studies - You should have already started your project, which requires you to make a story board template with 4 slides, of which you'll present. Not hard!

Health/PE - Refer to Mrs. Kuhner's blog or check with her in person
