I've really enjoyed these last weeks getting acquainted with the students! I have slowly, but surely been able to put their names to faces and faces to names :) We've spent these last few days learning the basic characteristics of Science...and will soon get started into what this class is all about...LIFE! But first, students will be tested over the basic "Characteristics of Science" this Thursday (8/17/23). We will be reviewing in class on Wednesday, but I encourage all students to study their notes for Chapter 1, sections 1 & 2, which should be located in the Notes section of their Science Binders. I also want to encourage the students to study Vocabulary using the classroom website at the following link:
http://mrbakerlifescience.weebly.com/vocabulary.html and click on the Unit 1 Vocabulary: "Characteristics of Science" Button. That is an excellent tool for students to use while developing studying habits. This tool will be available to all students throughout the year.
This week, students spent a little time nominating and voting on name suggestions for our classroom critters. Here are the chosen critters’ names for the remainder of the year.
Bob = Lizard
Beeyonce = Queen Bee
Snoop = Tarantula
Tom & Jerry = Leopard Geckos
Throughout the year, students will be involved in various group activities, and I will be posting photos of the various activities that we have done in class. Feel free to view the photos by clicking the Gallery Page on this Website. I will be updating the site with new photos periodically throughout the school year. So be sure to check back.
I hope the students will find this year an exciting time for learning Science! I look forward to teaching them!
