Week of March 24 - 28, 2014

Thursday HW
1.  MMS pages 112-113 on Lesson 5.  Yesterday's quiz was done very well, based on my marking of page one.
2.  Unit 8, lessons three and four Math Quiz on Tuesday, April 1 (sorry, that's no April Fool...).
3.  Continue gathering research for your "Story of Stuff" project.  I am looking at a due date of April 8.  I do move the due dates at times if unforeseen circumstances arise, but it won't be earlier than that.
A good starting point for is the show page for "How It's Made" on the discovery.ca website.  The Story of Stuff video is easily available online on YouTube if you want a refresher on our introduction to the topic.  This site however doesn't really deal with two of the three main components:  extraction and environmental impact.
4.  Scholastic orders are due in class on Monday.

Wednesday HW
1.  Trickster Tale is due in good copy form on Thursday by 3:15 PM.  Students must hand in the story organizer/planner with it.
2.  Continue gathering research for your "Story of Stuff" project.  We spent another period yesterday for a total of three using laptops to do preliminary research for the organizer in the Science booklet.  At this point much of the assignment will be completed at home, by contrast with the Human Organ Systems assignment, for which I scheduled many in-class periods that were not always used well.  I am looking at a due date of April 8.  I do move the due dates at times if unforeseen circumstances arise, but it won't be earlier than that.
