One Week Before Winter Break!

Hey All! Sorry this is coming to you so late on Sunday. I have had a jam packed weekend and it looks like there is no end in site. I'm sure you are all going through the same.

This week we will continue with the game we are going to create for our Plate Tectonics Theory and Rock Cycle review. Students were introduced to the game at the latest by Friday, some on Thursday. Fifth hour had a meeting on Friday so they are a day behind. Please do not go out and buy anything for your child to create this game. One thing that I have asked them to do is create the game using things they have already at home, reduce, reuse and recycle. All games are due when students walk into class on Wednesday. They will have time in class to work on them on Monday and Tuesday. Students will rotate through the room on Wednesday and play each other's games and give feedback to the group. Students may fix anything last minute at home on Wednesday night and bring it back on Thursday.
We will then take the assessment on Thursday. Then on Friday, we will be working on making sure that our Science Binders are in the order they should be.

Please watch for your child's progress report to come home in the mail early next week.

Have a great Winter Break!
