6th grade Science

Monday - If you haven't finished your Water Pollution notes, we worked on them for the last two weeks in class, you should have finished them for homework.

Today students should begin to draft their public service announcement blog. Once done with that they will get more experience points from me.

HW - None, unless you are still taking notes.

Tuesday - Same as yesterday. Those who are still in the research, note-taking phase, need to catch up because we need to be drafting our public service announcement blog this week (this is the 3rd week of this project!).

HW - None if you're all caught up (meaning you are done taking notes).

Wednesday - Same as yesterday. I moved students who are very behind on their notes to the water pollution preventions section and I've offered my room after school on Tuesdays. Mr. Meacham's room and Ms. Shea's room will also be available for after school catch up work Wednesdays and Thursdays. 

I'm trying to help everyone get to work on their public service announcement blog.

HW - None if you're done taking notes.

Thursday - Today is the last day of the 2nd trimester!

I have asked everyone to start working on their public service announcement blog regardless of how many notes they've taken. To get more experience points for notes taken students can work on their notes after school and show me to get more points (points, or lack thereof, are not being used for grading purposes but only to show how much is getting done).

HW - If you prefer a letter grade instead of a Pass on your Skyward report card, fill out and turn in, on paper or electronically, a Final Grade Negotiation Sheet. It's due Monday, Mar 18.

Friday - Trimester Break - there will be no school today because we didn't need a snow day (this would have been our snow make-up day).

HW - None if you're all caught up!
8th grade Science

Monday - Today we will continue working on our Gregor Mendel pea plant experiments. Students will learn what Mendel learned when crossing green peas with yellow peas.

HW - None

Tuesday - Today we will continue our genetics explorations by crossing carnations! Then we will practice some more Punnett squares.

2nd period set the fish traps.

HW - None

Wednesday - Today we are going to learn which traits are dominant and which traits are recessive so that we can practice using Punnet squares on human traits.

2nd period will retrieve the fish traps today to id and count any fish we trapped.

HW - None

Thursday - Today is the last day of the 2nd trimester!

Eighth graders are still working with Punnett squares and human traits.

HW - If you prefer a letter grade instead of a Pass on your Skyward report card, fill out and turn in, on paper or electronically, a Final Grade Negotiation Sheet. It's due Monday, Mar 18.


Friday - Trimester Break - there will be no school today because we didn't need a snow day (this would have been our snow make-up day).

HW - None if you're all caught up!
