Apologies for the late email! We are already off to a great start!

December 4 - 8, 2017

Monday – We will start our class by documenting on our weather tracker. Students will complete a 1st Semester Review Assessment.  This will not count as a grade.  It will act more as a pre-test to see what students remember and where we need to fill in gaps.  It will take the whole period and if a student scores a 90% or higher may choose to keep this as their Semester Exam grade.

Homework: Think in Ink - Reflecting on the test, what was harder that you thought?  What do you feel good about? 

Tuesday – ESCAPE ROOM! We will be reviewing for our semester exam in a new and exciting way!  Students will be working together in small teams to solve a series of clues that lead to the exit.  Today's Escape Room will be based on the Earth, Moon, Sun relationships. We will end our class by documenting on our weather tracker.

Homework: Glows and Grows about today's review activity. 

Wednesday - Earth, Moon, Sun Performance Task Review.  Students will work in pairs and independently to complete a Performance Task similar to one appearing on the upcoming test. We will end our class by documenting on our weather tracker.

Homework: Grows and Glows from today's lesson.

Thursday – ESCAPE ROOM! Students will be working together in small teams to solve a series of clues that lead to the exit.  Today's Escape Room will be based on the Objects in the Universe. We will end our class by documenting on our weather tracker.

Homework: Grows and Glows from today's lesson.  

Friday – Objects in the Universe Performance Task Review. Students will work in pairs and independently to complete a Performance Task similar to one appearing on the upcoming test. We will end our class by documenting on our weather tracker.
