For the next two weeks, we will be learning about and investigating watersheds. A watershed is an area of land where all of the water that is under it or on it flows to the same spot.
Here are some resources from class:
ASSIGNMENTS:
Today students will review important parts of the hydrosphere in preparation for our focus on watersheds beginning next week. Students will need this link for class:
For the next two days students will be gathering information about the Gulf of Maine. Students will need these links for class:
Is students have extra time, they can check out these additional resources about the Gulf of Maine:
ASSIGNMENTS:
Today is officially the half-way point for the trimester and school year. Students will be doing a mid-trimester HOWLs self assessment. They also have HOWLs grades from me in Infinite Campus as well as grades from last week’s water cycle quiz.
This week students will be learning about the Gulf of Maine. Students will need these images and links for the Gulf of Maine Mapping Activity today:
ASSIGNMENTS:
Today students continued to learn about how to take notes and identify important details in a non-fiction text using the interactive website called Newsela. Here are the resources we used (the same as Wednesday)
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
Today students had their quiz demonstrating what they know about the water cycle. Grades will be in Infinite Campus be the end of the weekend.
ASSIGNMENTS
Today students are taking a close look at a text to identify important details about the water cycle. Students will be using a news source called Newsela which creates readings of the same materials at multiple different reading levels. Students should read a level of the text that is easy for them first and then do a second read of a slightly more challenging version of the text. With their school google accounts, all students are signed up for the resource. Here are the materials from class today:
ASSIGNMENTS:
This Thursday students have a quiz reviewing the water cycle. In class today we discussed strategies for studying along with the study guide that was handed out (you can access it here: Water Cycle Quiz Study Guide.)
Here are some study tips:
Do all of these many times, at different times over a couple days.
Students also looked at data about where in the hydrosphere water is stored.
ASSIGNMENTS:
Today students reviewed what they have learned this week about the water cycle. Students also shared their water cycle comics from yesterday. Students that are still unsure about the words precipitation, accumulation, evaporation and condensation should be sure to review their notes from this week.
ASSIGNMENTS:
Today students reviewed the water cycle and worked together to tell the story of water molecule as it journeys through the hydrosphere. Students then had to make a comic of the journey of a water droplet through the water cycle.
