I hope everyone enjoyed their Spring Break. Mine was very restful. Only 9 weeks left before Summer Vacation. Four of those weeks will be spent on Reproductive Health so we only have a little time left for chemistry. We have lots to learn to be ready for high school. Let's dig in for the last few weeks.

Also, many of you already know that Mr. Musser's last day was on April 3rd. He is being offered a long-term subbing job here at Milwood and WMU has allowed him to graduate a few days early. Congratulations Mr. Musser! We will miss you.

Science

Monday, April 14

We will be reviewing what we have learned from chapter 10. To do this, we will be creating a foldable pamphlet to help us. If you are absent this day, please see the class model or better yet, get with a friend and make your foldable. This item will be a good help in studying for the assessment too.


Tuesday, April 15

Please push back Monday's lesson to Tuesday. Lesson is taking longer than expected.

Ecosystems

Monday, April 14

We will begin class with an "Inside/Outside Circle" as a classbuilding activity. Then we will move to our new seats. With our new groups, we will work on a teambuilding activity called, "I'm Outta Here!" This will take ~15 minutes. Then we will begin our Ecosystems Vocabulary activity with our group. Students will work in their teams using "Fan-N-Pick" to review vocabulary.

Wednesday, April 16

Students will be viewing a video on ecosystems. There will be a worksheet for students to complete with it.


Friday, April 18

Students will review vocabulary using Monday's Fan-N-Pick activity. Next they will be given cards to complete a classbuilding activity "Find-Someone-Who". We will complete 3 rounds of this one with new cards each time. We will then begin our Powerpoint lesson on "It's All Connected". Students will be using Lancer notes and keeping them in their folder.
