28 August - 1 September (Week 2)

I'm seeing wonderful things in the classroom as we learn to be science. Thanks to the students who come each day ready to discover and learn new things! Thank you to the students who are so very respectful of themselves, their peers, and myself! Thank you to the students who come in ready to use their brains! I see a classroom of smart and amazing students full of potential. We're going to have an awesome year! This week the fun really begins as we start working on our content topics. Earth Science is starting with investigating methods used by scientists to investigate the Universe as well as starting to learn about the creation of the Universe. Biology started with the characteristics of life and we are now learning about the elements of life. Both classes will have an assignment in the grade book next Tuesday, September 5th.
