Wednesday March 23, 2016 --- Last Class Before Spring Break! - w/Homework Assignments. :)

Good Evening All!

I hope conferences have been going well for all of you! I have had lots of requests to hurry up and put this on the blog so you can finish before the break starts, so here it is :)

Today during class we did some guided notes and a lab. Here is the lab:


Here is the guided notes:
 

Now for the MOST requested homework for over break (which most of you finished at least 2 of the assignments during the end of class)!! Here we go:
1. Guided Reading "Blood" Worksheet #1-10
2. Red Blood Cell vs. White Blood Cell Venn Diagram (see below)
3. Cluster Diagram (see below)
4. Review Sheet - Blood Vessels

Now, here is the powerpoint slides for the venn diagram and cluster diagram, and then the review sheet. Then the Blood sheet you should have (its' also attached here though)--- REMEMBER only #1-10.



I hope you have a WONDERFUL spring break!!! Please email me if you have any questions.

Hello All,

Today in Science we are learning about the Heart and the way the blood travels through the body. We did some guided notes which are included here, and also watched this short video clip...

Then we finished up class working on two things... A Review and Reinforce Worksheet on the Body's Transport System, and then on an ASSESSSMENT sheet "Key Concept Summaries." Both included below:

If these were not completed in class they are homework. ALSO use this review to study for your QUIZ on Monday March 21.

Have a great weekend!

Super Friday -- Test re-do's.

Good Afternoon,

I hope you had an amazing Super Tuesday! I just wanted to remind you of a few things...

1. Test scores are in. Remember, if you received a 2.5 or lower you can take home the re-do form. This NEEDS to be SIGNED by a PARENT and returned at the BEGINNING of class on Monday or it will not be accepted. Also make sure you are fully answering all questions and why it is the correct answer. If you put "I don't know" you will not get the partial credit for that question. The re-do forms if you need another copy is included below:

2. I am SOOOOO excited to have told you all today about the dissection we are about to take part in! FROGS!!!!!!! Within the next couple of weeks I will be sending home permission forms for the dissection. This is a super exciting lab, but we also need to remember that safety is an important issue. We will be signing a form saying that we will respect all of the equipment and that there will be no joking around during the lab (since we will be using scalpels, scissors, etc...). If there is such an incident, students will be taken to a separate room to work on alternative assignments and miss out on this awesome opportunity. I'm so excited for this lab to come up!

Have a WONDERFUL weekend and I will see you on Monday. The only homework is to do the re-do's if you are choosing to do so.

Fun Friday

Good Evening,

All of the missing assignments I received today are in the grade book, so that is all updated based on what I have received. Tests are also graded. I will be putting them into the grade book on Friday. High five to my 5th hour for receiving the highest class average :)

Remember only homework is to finish up your board game if it is not already completed.

See you all Friday.

Snow Day Round 2 - Test Rescheduled.

Good Afternoon All!

I hope you enjoyed your snowday on Wednesday!! I just wanted to give you a heads up that the test that was supposed to be Wednesday will be rescheduled to next Wednesday March 9, since we do not have school Monday. Although it might seem as a positive that you did not have to take the test yesterday, let's remember to study and keep up on the digestive system topic and not let it escape our minds. Make sure you are working on your study guide and studying your three digestive guided note packets.

Due to the snow day, we will be taking the test first thing Wednesday and then finishing up and playing our "Digestive Board Games"after. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Email me if you have ANY questions about the test. Good luck studying over the weekend and next week!

MISSING WORK FOR FUN FRIDAY: It is all due on Tuesday. Since you will not see me until Wednesday, please email me if you have any missing assignments that you want to turn in.

See you all on Wednesday.

Mrs. Lechner
