What's happening 9-6 to 9-10

Thank you again for all the parents that have e-mailed me and signed up to follow the Blog.  It is a fantastic way to stay connected to what is happening in Science.
Science: Everyone
This past week we continued our studies on organization, and did a couple of experiments.  One was to sort items into different categories.  The other was to investigate The Mixing of Waters.  Ask your child to describe what happened when we mixed blue water to clear water and what the end result was.  We are still studying the Scientific Method as a way to solve problems.  Many of life's problems can be studied and solved using this method. 
This week in Science we will continue with reading about Variables, understand scientific tools, and safety in science.  The students will be taking a chapter test on Friday. 
Possible Homework for Science: Most homework will be started in class.  Many will finish and any unfinished work will be completed at home.  Homework is to enhance and connect to what is being learned in class
Tuesday- The Simpson's Variables
Wednesday- Biography reading comprehension
Thursday- Review Guide for quiz
Friday- :) no homework

Social Studies- Campbell's Class
The past week we have been talking about, reading about, and discussing culture.  Please talk to your child about their culture and what has been past down in your family as tradition. 
This week we will finish our culture unit, how culture changes societies, how we learn about culture, and we will be taking our first quiz on Friday.
Social Studies Homework:
Tuesday- What Swallowed Camels- Reading Comprehension
Wednesday- Why Mari Said No- Reading Comprehension
Thursday- Review Guide
Friday-:) no homework

Writing- Campbell's Class
We will be continuing Dibbles at this time.  Next week, we will begin writing essays.  Our first one will be a narrative about; If you could be any insect/animal what would you be.  The students will have to describe how and why they became the insect/animal they chose, and then write an essay of their adventures.

I hope this gives some insight to what Your children are doing in my class.  As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to come in, call, or e-mail me.
