Today in Social Studies students worked on study guides for chapter 6. The study guide is due tomorrow, and we will be correcting it in class so that students have a correct study guide for the test, which is Monday, February 8th. The packet for chapter 6 was also collected today.
In science students explored the periodic table of elements by hunting for element information at www.teachersdomain.org/asset/phy03_int_ptable/ and filling out information in a chart format for a set of elements. Everyone seemed to catch on quite quickly, and using their laptops always seems to lead to a higher level of interest and mastery. Once the charts were completed students did more exploration at www.funbrain.com playing Proton Don. Students also had a few minutes at the end of the day to work on their travel magazines for Ms. Haywood.
To repeat- there is a TEST on chapter 6 in Social Studies on Monday, February 8th. Students will bring home corrected STUDY GUIDES tomorrow. Studying for 15 minutes a day over several days is a much better way to learn new information than to cram the night before. Please take advantage of the 5 day opportunity you have to study for this test.
I also shared with students that passed in their packets what their grades are right now in science and social studies. Of course we have much more information to learn and several more assignments and tests to complete before ranks close in March, so for some this is a heads up that they need to be working harder for the next several weeks. For others it was an affirmation that they are working hard, and their grades reflect that.
