Dear Students:
This is the last week before the Second Quarter ends. It has been a quarter with a lot of work, marvelous projects and infinite activities.
Now that we have come to the end of the second quarter, it is a good time to look back at your progress. An ongoing goal for teachers should be to develop a constant process of evaluation to improve student skills. I am asking you to identify areas of improvement and areas you need to work on throughout the rest of the year. Then use the questions below to guide your thoughts.
• What areas/ skills did you focus on this quarter?
• Did you show improvement in these areas/ skills?
• What can you do to continue to improve in Science?
• What is your strength in Science class?
• How can you use your strength to help you in other areas?
We've worked tirelessly to not only teach skills and objectives, but establish relationships. Reflection is the mirror into which we can be honest with ourselves, with our triumphs and defeats and continually strive to be truly outstanding.
This week will still be full of activities and deadlines. Your Alternative Energy Resources’ Project should be ready by Tuesday, December 14, as well as your Work Pack. Your Test on Chapter 11 is Wednesday, December 15. Finally your diagrams are due Thursday, December 16.
It has been a pleasure working with you, a group of talented and energized individuals. I look forward to continue in this learning journey in our Second Semester.
Enjoy the Holidays!!!!
Welcome to the Wonderful World of Science through the Earth Science Course for eighth grade. This course is widely described as a journey through Planet Earth and beyond our atmospheric boundaries. Students will study basic principles of Earth Science and will continue to use science tools, expand and build on their knowledge base, and work on their ability to comprehend science reading and to write clearly and coherently in the context of science.
