Quizzes were handed back Monday and Tuesday. The only chance for retakes before progress reports is Thursday and Friday after school. Full sentence corrections and signed quizzes with a parent note are due the day before the retake. Kids who need help on corrections can stay after school on Wednesday.

They did the present day lot model.

They took the lesson 2 quiz.

The bellwork sheet 3 & 4 quiz is next Mon/Tues. Here is a link to quizlet word set. It’s the same one I put into Google Classroom a few days ago.

BW #15

They worked on the forested lot model all hour. They completed and turned in their own copy and the group rubric.

Study for the quiz! I went over in class exactly what to expect. We went over and corrected ISN pages 14-17 together so kids would have the correct info to study. I put a link to a Quizlet word set ( https://quizlet.com/_7jo6ul?x=1qqt&i=co3s6 ) into google classroom for the lesson 2 vocab. You must understand and be able to use the words correctly on the quiz.

The conference make up day will be Monday from 4-7 for those who were not able to come to conferences on Wednesday.

We did bellwork # 14

We went over what should be on ISN pages 14-17.

We did a partner writing assignment that summarizes and reviews how water goes into streams.

The lesson 2 quiz next week (Thurs/Fri) will have

• What we learned in each of the labs (ISN p. 14-17)
• The vocab from the lesson (I collected the vocab sheet but the reading and vocab sheet are in google classroom.)
• There will also be a part that asks about how water moves when it hits different types of surfaces (concrete, grass, forest soil, gravel)
• The kids will need to write out an answer to the lesson question about how water moves into streams.

In order to avoid giving a giant quiz or two quizzes in one day, I will separate out the quizzes for lesson 2 and for the BW sheets.

Thurs 11/21 & Fri 11/22 will be the lesson 2 quiz

Mon 11/25 & Tues 11/26 will be the quiz on bellwork sheets 3 & 4

Tuesday- Snow day

Monday (A-day) and Thurs (B-day)

• BW 12 (Thurs BW 12-13)

• We went over and fixed the water drop CCR paper.
• I handed out assignments and talked about fixing incomplete work and turning it back in.
• I gave them a vocab sheet to complete

Wed (A-day)

• We did BW 13
• We went over the vocab sheet
• They did a word wall vocab box
• They made a model of the water system labeling reservoirs and water processes

We do have conferences tonight from 3:30-6:30. If you can’t make it tonight there will be a make up conference day next week.

Also, if the weather is below 20 degrees or raining kids can only come inside the building through door 9 in the morning before school starts. Door 9 is at the back of the school on Hubbard.

Parent Teacher conferences are cancelled for Monday evening. See you Wednesday. I am sure we will be super busy!

They did bellwork #11 and turned in BW sheet #4.

They wrote out the summary questions for the soil column lab on ISN p. 16

We did the stream model and turned it in.

They wrote out the summary questions for the stream model on ISN p. 17

I collected anything they had not already turned in to me. I will try to get caught up on grading papers and grades over the weekend!

Remember about conferences on Monday and Wednesday! See the blog post below for details.

We also handed out permission slips Thursday for a field trip. Signed permission slips and money are due by Monday 11/11! Parent chaperones need to come into the office for iChat clearance next week because the clearance takes around 3 weeks to come back.
