On Monday we will go over the Landforms Nine Week test, especially the most missed questions. We will discuss important vocabulary and do certain hands-on activities to reteach concepts missed. Students may expect to receive back their test this day. We will also check on our plants and see if the limiting factors of temperature, sunlight, nutrient-rich soil, and water have any effect on the pea plants' growth. On Tuesday we will begin learning about biomes, or large ecosystems, such as the rainforest, grassland, tundra, taiga, and deciduous forest. We will read about these biomes, answer questions, look at pictures, create webs, and do various review activities to learn many aspects about each biome. On Wednesday those receiving less than 77% may retake a landforms quiz (the most missed questions from the Landforms Nine Weeks Test).
At the same time we are learning about ecosystems, we will begin reviewing for the EOGs. Mrs. Barbour has ordered our EOG books. In the meantime, we will learn about one lesson at a time during the beginning of class. Students will also have EOG vocabulary words and will write definitions, draw pictures, and make sentences for each one. 5A will do these vocabulary words during Thursday class time and for homework. 5B and C will have these vocabulary words for homework Wednesday and Thursday and will receive instruction on them Wednesday.
Homework for the week:
Monday night: Research the temperature and precipitation of each ecosystem: the rainforest, grassland, tundra, taiga (coniferous forest), and deciduous forest. See google images for each ecosystem.
Tuesday: Competitive Edge Pg. 66 #1-5; those retaking the Landforms test need to restudy tonight. Students will retake a mini test on Wednesday on those questions most students missed.
