Good morning!  Here are your updates for science:

Homework was assigned on Monday, due on Friday.  Some folks have questions about books.  Here is the link to the online text book site.  http://www.glencoe.com/ose/index.html  The code for the Physical Science book is E02337817E.  That should take you straight there.  If you can't use the online book, there are books in the library for check out.  You may check these out for one month at a time.  We do not have enough books in the school for every student to have a copy of all three books at all times.  6th, 7th, and 8th grade students use all three texts, so we need to bring them back to the library when we are done using them.  Thanks for understanding!  (-:

There is a vocabulary quiz on Thursday.  Yellow highlighted words from Chapter 2 of the Physical Science book.  Match definitions from the glossary.  Easy peasy.  Everyone should aim for 100% on vocab quizzes.  I will also check to see that vocabulary definitions are done on that day (even though the homework isn't due until Friday).

Here are some helpful (and some goofy) websites to aid your student in studying the metric system.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!  If you leave a comment below letting me know you stopped by, I'll give your kiddo a PRIDE ticket at school.
