Wednesday 6th homework Back to School night Thursday

Thursday, Sept 9th is Back to School Night at 6 p.m. We would appreciate having all parents come and meet your student's teachers. I am instituting a new policy. A few students have decided that if they break rules they can get sent out of the room. This takes away their opportunity to learn, but having them in class takes away other student's opportunity to learn. My new policy is called Choices and Consequences. (C&C) Students will be warned twice to straighten up. The third time they will be given an assignment. This assignment will be graded and is due at the start of the next class period. Only the students who are interfering with learning will be required to do this assignment. I hope this encourages students to do what is expected.

6th: There is homework. Students are to read A4-A19 and do the problems on A19 1-5 using complete sentences (C.S.) Today we discovered the different characteristics of each of the five (or six) kingdoms of organisms. Students worked in teams and filled out a paper so they could see each organism and its characteristics.

7th: We learned about operational definitions. Then we defined what we meant by a dead flower. We filed into the lab and checked out our flowers to see how they were doing. The one in baking soda already had died. We wrote the information into our data chart. Afterwards we came back to the classroom and learned about reading data in different charts. A few students earned C&C. Their assignment is page 29-30 1-26. All answers must be written in complete sentences.
