Whew! What a whirlwind of a week we had last week. Students finished out the chemistry unit with a test for a grade in my classroom. We also completed the district benchmark assessment for this unit. Today students were able to complete the district Reading benchmark assessment as well. Now that all that testing is complete, we are finally getting started with our new unit on Earth History. Today, students received their new set of vocabulary words (see below for the list). These words are due completed in the proper format by Monday (10/27/14), we will also have a vocab quiz that day. We also were able to refresh our memories of the rock cycle and plate tectonics by watching a video. For homework, students are required to complete a reading assignment with questions on the rock cycle (see below for a copy of this). Tomorrow, students can expect to hit the ground running with our new topic on fossils and relative dating. Have a great day!!!
