Monday

We had an interesting time learning to classify things today. First we put books into different categories and then we took shoes and practiced classifying them. We learned a little ditty to help us remember the order of classification of animals: King Phillip came over from Germany singing, thanks to Mr. Heinzman for that. The words are Kingdom - Phylum - Class - Order - Family - Genus - species. Then we watched a ppp to show the different Kingodoms. It does along with their reading.

I will be gone tomorrow so the students will be watching a movie about seeds. There will be a "pay attention" worksheet to help them focus on the important parts of the film.

The weeds rough draft is due March 16th. Students who need to type at school will be allowed to do that during SSR time. But the rough draft only needs to be typed if they want to do that. The final draft must be in on the 21st of April.

The students should begin reading A20-A34.
