Wednesday we will discuss chapter 1 lesson 3 together and complete the text questions as a class. Students will then have the remainder of the class period to complete the chapter 1 lesson 4 text questions. Chapter 1 Study Guide will go be distributed as well.

Thursday we will discuss chapter 1 lesson 4 (moon phases) and we will again darken the room and conduct a demonstration -- this time on the moon phases. If time allows, we will watch a BrainPop on the moon phases.

Social Studies:

Monday we will begin chapter 8. The plan was to start our study of chapter 8 the week prior, but instead students participated in a document-based question activity that took a few days. Thus, on Monday we will discuss chapter 8 section 1 and students will receive the section 1 handout to complete in class.
