Today we used the Chrome Books to research Ancient Roman history and government.  There was time given to read text pages 247-253, and to answer the 3 key questions.  This is homework if it was not completed in class.

1. Today we  reviewed the map on textbook page 240, taking notes from the smart board.   We finished reading pages 244-245, using the smart board to take a closer look at that map to understand  the effects of expansion.  We took a quick quiz using page 75 to help us better understand the questions on page 76.  No homework.

Tomorrow is a field trip.  No classes.

Today in social studies we reviewed, corrected, and discussed pages 239-245.

There  is no homework tonight.

We will have social  studies this week.  Science tests will be returned tomorrow.

Finish whatever you did not complete in class:
Pages 234-235, Look at the picture, read the captions, and answer the four questions.
Pages 239-245, Read each section answering the question either before it or after it.  It is the same question, just worded a bit differently.  A total of four questions.

4/15/15

We reviewed for Friday's test.  Due Friday is a written experiment designing a model of the water cycle.  Also, draw a diagram of both, the layers of  the atmosphere and the water cycle.  All of this should be in the notebook.  For extra credit students may elaborate on the diagrams creating something more.  For example a model, a diorama, a poster.

Students have a study guide and the opportunity to take home a workbook to study from.

4/14/15-4/17/15

Students watched a video on the layers of  the atmosphere and the water cycle.  This reinforced what they studied yesterday from their textbook.  Tomorrow we  will discuss and complete projects on both topics.  Thursday there is no school for students because of report card pick up.  Friday they will take a test on both the layers of the atmosphere and the water cycle.  They have both Wednesday and Thursday to prepare for the test.  No additional homework will be given.

4/1/15-4/2/15

Students took their science test and their outlines were checked in.  Tomorrow we will have social studies.  There will not be homework over the break.  Enjoy!


Also, if you can donate tissue for our classroom it would be appreciated.  We are just about out.
