Below is a list of things we will start and hopefully complete next week. Specific days are not assigned to each activity -- this represents my best guess as to how much of my long range plan will be achieved next week. Some handouts are available. Other activities are unique to the classroom experience.
Math:
a) Finish pages 234-35 # 1-7; b) Quiz on Tuesday; c) Lesson 9 'Relating Units of Mass' introduced and practice questions assigned on text pages 240-41 #1-11 and in the the HW book pp. 94-95 (we have balance scales in class); d) quiz on Lessons 8 and 9 on Tuesday March 22.
Science:
a) Space Planet powerpoint (notetaking and assembly); b) Booklet pages 12 and 13.

Friday HW
1. Math Quiz Measurement 3.0 on Lessons 6 and 7 (Volume and the Cubic Metre) on Tuesday March 8.
2. We have a Scientists in School presentation on March 21 after the break.
3. Tafelmusik forms.
4. Gather jot notes about the planet you were assigned for the Space Powerpoint assignment.
- Students have access to my web page links at http://www.areynolds.org/ and can record notes on the Space booklet on pages 15 and 17 which is right after the topic sheet on page 14.
- The topic sheet should provide the on requirements and detail needed to start work on information gathering. The only major change is that we are using Powerpoint rather than Hyperstudio. Students had access to computers today to do research and will have access to computers to complete the Powerpoint in class. Students who work very slowly will likely have to do additional work on their own time or during homework club times. A USB stick would be useful to have in class during this time.
- The due date has not yet been set, but I am looking at about one week after the March Break.
