Making Sense of X and Y Monday

Today we bumped up the "equation thing."  Your kids worked hard to make x and y make sense.  The words that I kept repeating were, "Use the equation.  Plug it in!  Write something on your paper!"  You may feel free to repeat these phrases at home.

We also began a new research project today. Students have selected an animal to study.  Their research will teach them about this animal's unique niche within its habitat. Students will explore the animal's role within a food chain and the larger web that comprises its habitat.  Students are encouraged to do extra research at home.


This evening at home.....
