Good afternoon to the lovely followers of ADayintheLifeofSmalls!

Just wanted to give a few quick updates since I hadn't had a post in a few days!

First off, I wanted to give a big kudos to each and every one of the students who were able to attend the field trip in Raleigh yesterday, I thought your behavior was awesome and I feel like you all truly enjoyed yourselves, both from an educational standpoint and a social standpoint. It was a well needed trip, and I thought we had good success with the trip! Thank you guys!

Now, I wanted to put a quick reminder for those of you who are not sure what your homework is for me:

Grade 6: You guys have some follow up questions for the articles that we read aloud during class about tsunamis. We will continue to discuss them in class tomorrow as well as review your questions from today. Also, you guys should continue working on your newspaper article about the recent tsunami in Indonesia; causes, effects, what you would do if you were living there, and what is likely to happen in the future. Also keep in mind that we will likely be having an exam next Friday about the information we have been covering on earthquakes.

Grade 7: Busy week for you guys trying to squeeze quite a few things in that we ordinally might have spent more time on with our investigations of reproduction. You guys had a note guide that most of you completed during class time (otherwise you will have during homework help, i'm certain). Additionally, you were supposed to work on your stages of pregnancy timeline about the development from fertilization through the point of birth that is also due tomorrow. Lastly, you guys need to continue working on your brochures about development after birth through adulthood with a brief description of each phase.

Grade 8: I did not have you guys today, but we are still working on the periodic table and you guys should keep in mind that your element cube project is due on Friday. A few people have asked about me submitting the rubric on the blog for that project and I will work on doing so, although it may be in a different post, and most of you should have them in your possession anyway.

That is all folks!

Until next time,
