First Notebook Check

Today, students were given their first notebook check. Each student was graded on a scale from 1 - 5. Afterwards, they entered their grade on their score sheets. Score sheets can be found on the inside-front cover of each student's science notebook. Parents this is a GREAT way for you to monitor your child's grade in science class.

I also reviewed requirements for the Article Analysis Assignment. We read the article in class and went over particular questions that can be found on the practice sheet. (see "Important Links and Forms")

Lastly, we inserted a form that I call "Grandma's House". It (re-)introduces students to different levels of questioning. Higher level questioning helps students to develop their critical thinking skills. It also creates a deeper understanding of the subject at hand.

Students,
Don't forget to post a comment for extra credit! Be sure to include your first name and last INITIAL.
