Tuesday

We had a discussion today about the appearance of essays. Some of the essays are nearly impossible to decipher. I showed the students what an essay should look like. We discussed writing on the line, spelling correctly, keeping words together, indenting, and neatness. I told the students that knowledge gives power. The more they know, the more power they have. Learning to write legibly and express yourself intelligently is a power.

Most of the students brought their homework, some did not. They should have had a picture of them as a baby and a current picture with weight and height on the baby picture and just height next to the current picture. Also students should be working on reading A50-A80.

We read about amphibians and saw some interesting species on video. We saw a Japanese salamander, yellow frogs, an apodan, and various other critters. Tommorrow we should be doing reptiles and birds.
