Trading Card Tuesday

Ian J., I am holding on to your  Post title suggestion!

It was another busy day in 201!  This morning we continued our Conversation Heart Explorations and worked on the Mean, Median, Mode and Range page.  It was a toughie. I am so proud of 201 kids for struggling through this one. The questions were specific, and the the pages were filled with work. We made some mistakes, and hopefully learned a thing or two. Want to reinforce these skills at home? Log on to IXL get some Mean, Median, Mode and Range practice!



Today we also began working on our Mythology Trading Cards. Kids are doing the research and are learning about mythological heroes, monsters and creatures. Each child is responsible for creating 5 God/Goddess Cards, 2 Monster Cards, and 2 Creature Cards.  All of the information about the card requirements is on today's handout. It will get it posted on Google Classroom A.S.A.P.!



We also kicked off our new Science Fusion unit today. Why does the sun rise? Is it Apollo?  Nope!  What causes the seasons? What's a tilt? What's the difference between a rotation and a revolution? Tonight's homework reinforces our first lesson.

This evening at home...

  • Use the Review test to study for tomorrow's Chapter 7 Test.'
  • Read the first lesson in the Science Fusion Earth Moon and Stars chapter. You do not have to do any of the activities.
  • You DO need to write an article using the Extra Extra page. The article should focus on "Night and Day" and "Seasons."
Of course, you already knew all of this, because you copied down the homework from the board and listened carefully to the questions and answers.  See you tomorrow!

P.S. The assignments listed on Google Classroom are not homework.
