Mrs. Harrison's 7th Grade Science

Week of April 29 – May 3

• Monday – I was absent. Students watched The Magic Schoolbus episode from Netflix. (Season 1 – Episode 1) Some classes did not see me due to a school presentation of the High School Musical Jr. play.
• Tuesday – Afternoon classes were MSTEP testing and did not come to my room at all. Morning classes worked on a vocabulary assignment needed for studying for the upcoming test (next week!!)
• Wednesday – I returned to school and morning classes were MSTEP testing and did not meet with me at all. Afternoon classes worked on the vocabulary assignment needed for studying the upcoming test (next week!!)
• Thursday – All classes were given an opportunity to watch the Magic Schoolbus episode and work on their vocabulary assignment. With all of the confusion, I wanted students to have plenty of time to work on these assignments.
• Friday – We did a sorting activity to learn about invasive species that affect Michigan. Some might even be right in our back yards! Students chose one of the organisms to use for their Wanted Poster assignment. They had to write up details about the species and then look up an article on the computer and tell me the title, author, and make a prediction of what the article is about. They do not have to read the article, just guess what it might be about based on the pictures / title.

Homework:

• Vocab: 13 words from the chapter — give me the definition, draw a picture to represent the word, and use the word in a sentence that shows that the student knows the meaning of the word.
• Wanted Poster
