TOPIC: What is Energy?
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!
Journal Entries 17 & 18 - Choose any 2 of the topics provided and use your journal checklist to ensure you have everything you need to have dynamic entry posts. Please copy the option onto your paper/blog so that WE know what topic you're addressing.
Energy Song - We will learn a song that goes with our unit. Please ask your children to sing it to you (perhaps, you can learn the song too).

They have ONE WHOLE WEEK to answer ONE question. 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 complete at home is due to how they use their class time. Enough class time is provided for each task.
