When students came back they were anxious to examine what had grown in the garden. Currently cucumbers, watermelon, radishes, and certain flowers are sprouting. We will continue to monitor the garden and keep you posted.
This week students will study parts of the ecosystem: producers, consumers, and decomposers. Then we will examine how they connect to each other in food chains and food webs. Students will receive a test next week on ecosystems.
At the same time we are reviewing for the Science EOG. EOGs occur May 17th, 18th, and 19th. There are two ways we are reviewing. First, each day we read two lessons and answer multiple choice questions from Newton's Laws. Second, students have been giving a definition sheet with the important vocabulary from the year. On Tuesday night students will create sentences using the words from column 1. On Wednesday night, students create sentences from column 2. We will then have a vocabulary quiz on Friday. We will continue writing sentences and having a vocabulary quiz next week and the week after as well.
