Dear parents and students,<o:p></o:p>

6th History<o:p></o:p>
The history test is on Tuesday. Each student has a study
guide and we have gone over that content. I hope they study more than they did
for the last science test. I am running low on hair to pull out  J Later in the week we
do a spice simulation about trade. This engaging activity happens entirely in
class.<o:p></o:p>

6th Science<o:p></o:p>
On Monday each student considers all the observation we made
in our “field trips” and generates a plate tectonics theory. They find this
very challenging. Then we spend a couple of weeks learning plate tectonics in
more traditional ways, so at the end of the unit until they all understand.<o:p></o:p>

7th Science<o:p></o:p>
Each year I try to squeeze in a unit specifically about
the nature of science. When students understand the processes and vocabulary,
the concepts make more sense. Science is stable, yet ever-changing!<o:p></o:p>

8th Science<o:p></o:p>
The students have 10 class periods with nothing to do but
construct layers. They should have 10 layers on the 17th and must
bring them all in. A bridge made of 6 layers may still be strong and attractive
enough for a C, but is more likely to get a D…or lower. No layers may be
made after 12/17 for any reason. However,
the layers will of course be attached together.<o:p></o:p>
