Science: Began our introductory unit "How Do Scientists Communicate?" by writing the purpose and hypothesis for A Candy Coated Lab. Students will be collecting data tomorrow and Friday! Homework is to begin working on researching the types of candy that will be used in the experiment.
Geometry: Today we began to think about reasoning and proofs by completing "Comic Proofs". These will be posted in the classroom for everyone to see tonight during Curriculum night. Students were given comic strips that were cut up and had to decide on the correct order for the comic strip and provide reasoning for their decisions. Some comics were fairly straightforward and had only one logical solution/order, while others were less obvious and some had many possible solutions. We will discover that geometric proofs often portray these same characteristics.
Spanish I: Students will be taking home their Spanish I textbook today, an information newsletter, and a course description of Spanish I. Please read carefully, and check out my Berkley website and my Spanish blog. Both website addresses are on the newsletter going home and on my Berkley website.
