Agenda & Homework

Welcome to Mr. Wahlstrom's science class agenda page. Each day, I will post my lesson plan on this page including the homework and other relevant notes. Because I teach from this page in class, students and parents are encouraged to review it regularly for homework, updates on what's going on in class, and as a tool to keep in touch if illness strikes... From time to time I will edit out older work and save it in the "Class Agenda and Homework Archive" located in the handout folder. Look for it there. _____________________________________________________________________________ Friday, December 4, 2009 Grade 8 Agenda: Check and discuss remaining questions (6-8) and reading of Earth's Atmosphere Pass back and go over Earth's atmosphere Q&R quiz.
