I will be out of school on Monday, but there will be a sub. In my Algebra class, students will be working on another small group problem solving task. This one involves making a decision on what kind of television to buy for a classroom---given certain restrictions. In Science, we are working on Chapter 21 "Sound" and we will be having a test on that chapter on Friday.

Good News!!! The starfish and frogs have arrived. On Thursday we will do a starfish dissection lab. The students have been looking forward to this for the past couple weeks and we are finally getting to do it. I have invited the 1st graders in to observe. It's never too early to learn proper lab procedures. The rest of the week will be spent working on Chapter 15 on cold blooded vertebrates. There will be a couple quizzes this week on the sections as we go through the chapter. A chapter test should be given early next week. Also.......Science Fair projects due on Thursday.
