Tuesday

We practiced making mountains today with sand, gravel, and mud. We also used silly puddy and clay to show how scientist believe the Rocky Mountains were made. They think that a subduction occurred, but for some reason, instead of going deep into the mantle, it went shallow and bumped along the bottom of the continent pushing up granite and creating the Rocky Mountains. We then returned to class and watched some videos that re-taught what we had experienced.

Homework was turned in for D44 vocabulary today. Scientist final reports are due on Thursday. This should just take a little time to fix your errors. Make sure it is in on time so they can be graded.

Money for the 6th grade trip to Downata needs to be in by the 24th of May. The $10 includes use of the pool and slides and transportation. Lunch must be provided by you or you can bring some extra money to purchase food at the lunch counter.
