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" next Tuesday (8/20/19). We will be reviewing in class on Monday, but I encourage all students to study their notes for Chapter 1, sections 1 & 2, which should be located in their Unit 1 & 2 section of their folders. 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 availabke to all students throughout the year.
Last week, students spent a little time nominating and voting on names for our classroom critters. The elected names are now our pet names for the remainder of the year. Here are the names that won: LIZARD: Peppa Pig, HAMSTER: Chris P. Bacon, TARANTULA: Charlotte.
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 Tab 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!
