On Thursday, the students took their final test for Earth Science. Grades will be on RenWeb later Thursday evening. Next week I will be in DC with the 8th graders so Mrs. Schkade will be going over our weather chapter with the students. We will not have any homework assignments or a test associated with this since the school year is just about over. Science Fair projects have been graded and their write-ups will be going home in the Thursday folder. I wrote quite a bit on each paper. I have gone over this with the students and these comments are meant to help them learn from the process. Written comments do NOT mean that points were taken off. Generally, if they included all necessary requirements of the project, they did very well with their actual grade. However, everyone can improve on the process, so the comments are meant to give them advice on thinking like a scientist.
Earth Science
We have been studying volcanoes this week. We have had a look at different types of lava that came from Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Fuego from their eruptions. We will take our test for this chapter on Thursday, May 9. Thanks so much for your support for your student...
