When-Will-She-Post-Wednesday

Hello 201 Families!

I apologize that this post is a few hours late.  I hope that your child copied the homework from the board this afternoon!
Tonight at home 201 students should have already......

• Read a book of his or her choice and written a reflection
• Completed the math sheet

Today we.....

• Started the day with our Scholastic Super Science Magazine.  We read about Penguins, and completed some graphing activities based on the article.  We also read about a  new hotel that is underwater.  We have decided that this will be a great field trip.  I am sure that we will have plenty of parent volunteers!
• We wrote Thank You Letters to the generous people who donated the funds to buy our subscription to Super Science.  We learned about the parts of the letter, proper formatting, and how to add detail and personalization.  We drafted, revised, and published. The letters are wonderful. I will put them in the mail tomorrow.
• We worked on our Adaptations Commercials.  Students are creating a 60 second commercial spot that advertises Physical or Behavioral Adaptations.  I got to hear a few "works in progress" today.  They are wonderful.  We will make more revisions tomorrow, and we will have time for some practice.  I hope to film the performances!
• We spent time creating equations, matching words with expressions, and working backwards to solve problems.  These are tough, but our combined brain power helped us through some of the more difficult problems.

Don't forget...

• Field trip money is due no later than Monday!  Our trip to the Field Museum in Tuesday.
• We will take the chapter 9 Math test on either Friday or Monday.  I will gauge readiness tomorrow.
• The Animal diorama and essay are due on Friday!
