One week until Case 21!
Our schedule for next week goes:
Monday: review day
Tuesday Case 21 Language Arts
Wednesday Case 21 Math
Thursday Case 21 Science
Fri: End of quarter celebration and early release!
So we spent a good bit of time finishing our powers of ten notes this morning and talking about that for a good time. This will be the last really *new* thing we talk about this quarter, but it is very important, so we’ll continue hitting on it regularly.
We are also doing a good bit of review, so tonight students have a short review quiz on geometry. It might seem long, but they are all multiple choice questions, with very little actual work to be done.
In Language Arts we continue to work on finding evidence inside texts, and being able to reason our answers. Today we had some great discussions where the students tried to explain their reasoning and convince me of their answers.
Tonight students have a short passage about the lungs and some questions to answer. As always, I expect to see reasoning!
In Science we talked about some body systems, and how they are connected. We also watched a Bill Nye video on the brain, which included a whole bunch of really neat optical illusions. Ask your student about them!
so, tl;dr
one review packet on geometry
one passage on the lungs (with reasoning!)
as always, read!
Have a good one,
-Mr. Potter
