Grade 6: Week of February 13th to 17th

Last week I did not see students for three days because of practice EOG testing. Therefore, we will spend two days on our review sheet, study and have our Plate Tectonics test this Thursday. On Friday we will watch the PBS movie, "Deadliest Earthquake". This movie focuses on the earthquakes of Haiti and Chile, what caused them, and current seismic research.

Homework for the week:

*There are a number of students who have not turned in their Plate Tectonics Study guide from last week. We did half of this study guide in class. Students were supposed to complete the words in bold and pictures on page 8, and the words "seismologists", "seismic waves", "seismographs", and "magma" on page 10. If I do not receive the study guide by Tuesday, your child will receive a detention notice so they come on Wednesday 2:45-3:15 to complete this late work. Late work receives a maximum of 70%, or a D grade.

Monday: first three pages of the review sheet, study for the Plate Tectonics Test Thursday

Tuesday: finish the review sheet and study for the Plate Tectonics Test
