What’s Happening in Science PLUS Important Reminders — Week of May 5

20140507-082254.jpg

It’s hard to believe it is almost the end of the school year!! This week in Science we are completing an ABC book as our last Notebook pages for the year. I saw this on a teachers blog that I love — and I thought it would be a great activity for the kids to look back at topics studied. They have so impressed me with their retention of material!!

Monday — I introduced the ABC book format in each class. We worked on A – H as pictured above.

Tuesday — Today was our last day of Aspire Testing. We had 60 students randomly selected from our grade to test on Science, Language, or Writing. After our Testing, we had a shorter schedule for our day. I let students catch up on A – H, and students that were finished could go ahead to our next set of letters

Wednesday — Today we began our I – P section of our ABC book.

Thursday — Catch up Day on A – P

Friday — We will work on Q – end of our ABC book.

** I had originally said I would grade these books on Friday. Our students are working so hard — and putting so much thought into this assignment so I decided to extend our deadline. I will be grading Monday and Tuesday of next week.
