Physical Science Calendar (ABOVE): Please use the calendar above to stay abreast of what is going on in science. This is the best back up for limited agenda use and supporting student progress this year. I have added descriptions for each day’s worth of activities to support students (and parents) at home. I hope you find this information as helpful!
Journals 19 and 20 are here. Choose any 2 of the options available. Please use the checklist on the website of the sample handout to ensure EACH ENTRY has all the required characteristics.
Energy Song: The energy song was passed out last week. Students will get a chance to sing it in the classroom as review for our main concepts.
CRCT Practice #6: CRCT #5 will be collected this week and students will receive a new pink slip for the upcoming week. Please look over this activity to make sure that it is completed. Students have ONE WHOLE WEEK in which to complete this assignment. Due dates are as follows: 3rd Monday; 4th Tuesday; 5th Wednesday; 6th Thursday.
Ongoing Homework: Each week your child needs to (1) study 20 mins., (2) complete 2 journal entries, and (3) complete their CRCT pink slip. Students who have more work to complte at home is a result of improper use of their class time. Enough class time is provided to complete assigned tasks.
