Science –
In Dynamic Systems Science the students spent the week continuing to practice the scientific method skills.  The formative assessment dish soap bubble lab showed a composite score for all the Dynamic Scientists to be Goal #1 qualitative and quantitative Data = 2.85, Goal #2 Using the scientific method to research and find answers = 2.75, and Goal #3 communicating using data tables and graphs = 2.65. Please ask your student how they are tracking themselves on each of the learning goals.

The students had a counselor lesson today which included their personality type and career options in order to prepare them for the Career Fair on October Wednesday, 9 October 2013.

The students have a formative quiz over Goal #3 on Monday!


Looking forward to conferences with you!

Social Studies –

Students are wrapping up their exploration of Ancient Egypt this week.  On Monday and Tuesday we refocused our attention on How Do We Know What We Know:  The Science of History.  Students saw how the most current medical technology is deepening our understanding of Egyptian history.  We finished up the week with some practice with timelines and a look at the social structure of Egyptian society.  

Students will take their first open-note quiz on Tuesday, October 1st.  The notes that I gave them in class have been posted on my website.  Students may check there to see that their notes are accurate.

Grades have been updated and are posted on the Parent/Student Portal.

After school help is available in my room every Tuesday until 4:00
