<\/p>\n
This morning we took a mock science EOG. \u00a0I am happy to say the majority of students did quite well on this. \u00a0We seem to have animals, ecosystems, basic cell concepts, and body systems in the bag. \u00a0We are still ironing out some things concerning weather and physics.<\/p>\n
Today students received a review packet on forces and motion. \u00a0Tonight they need to read this packet, and answer the review questions in the back.<\/p>\n
Students should also pick 5 more vocab words, and write their definitions in their own words in their science journal. \u00a0This should bring our total to 30.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We also did a few of our\u00a0end of year MClass assessments today. \u00a0Many students have improved quite a bit from the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n
These final assessments aren’t usually a surprise. \u00a0Essentially if students read regularly, they show good, continuous growth in their abilities. \u00a0Those students who do not read regularly do not show growth.<\/p>\n
Because general literacy bleeds into basically every other content area, reading ability is a help or a hindrance in all subjects. \u00a0READ READ READ!! \u00a0Find a genre you like, an author you like, a series, whatever. \u00a0Just read!<\/p>\n
In math we talked again about checking our work, and ensuring we actually answer what the questions ask!<\/p>\n
Tonight students should look at 5 math word problems. \u00a0They do NOT need to answer the questions. \u00a0Tonight they should do these things:<\/p>\n
Do step 1-3 in our problem solving method.<\/p>\n
Above each problem is a line. \u00a0They should write the operation that they will be performing in order to solve this problem \u00a0For example they should write either ‘addition’, ‘subtraction’, ‘multiplication’, or ‘division’ on this line.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
so, tl;dr<\/p>\n
Finish forces and motion review packet<\/p>\n
5 more vocab words<\/p>\n
Look at this sheet:<\/p>\n
do the following on the sheet:<\/p>\n
Then, identify the operation you will be performing on the line above each problem.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Read!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Have a good one,<\/p>\n
