The Last Full Week of School!

Here we are at the last full week of school. It sure did go by quickly. Just a quick reminder that the projects are due on June 4th and they will be saved on Mrs. Washington's electronic file by the hour that your child has her class. Your child has all the parts that they need to do the science portion of the project and it should take them no more than 30 minutes to complete if they have been in class and complete their work for social studies (research) and in science. I can't wait to see them.

Here's the schedule:
Science
Monday, June 1
We will be completing our lesson on Greenhouse Gases and the Greenhouse effect at the beginning of class using a Mythbusters video. Then we will look into the connection between greenhouse gases and building green with a short video on a Green Home. There will be lots of class discussion today.

Tuesday, June 2
We will be watching a video on an architect who has been building green since the 1970's. He has lots of great information. There will be a handout to go along with this to help guide our understanding of the information he will be talking about.

Wednesday-Friday, June 3-5
We will be watching the Al Gore documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth". We will be looking at the science the Mr. Gore presents compared to what we have learned in class. Should we believe the theory? There will be a lot of class discussion throughout these three days.
