Thursday

Today we watched a Plato lesson on the Plant Kingdom. It discussed the four main divisions of plants, which plants were in each division, the life cycle of each division, and the benefits of each division. We discussed dicots and monocots, xylem and phloem, and pollinization and fertilization. The students filled out a chart so they will be able to compare the different plant divisions.

We are hoping to borrow some microscopes from AJ so we can look more closely at the parts of the plant on Monday. Reading will be to the end of the unit, to D80. Also students need to get the final draft of their weed essays in as soon as possible. They are officially due on Monday, but since some students don't have access to a computer at home, we are allowing them to work on the essays during SSR on Monday and Tuesday. Any that can be turned in on Monday would be appreciated so that I can get them read, and the five best ones turned in by the deadline of April 23rd.

Picture money or pictures are now past due.
