Our planet is full of life. All around us are creatures of various types and sizes. Your job is to research an animal of your choice and write a paper helping us to understand that animal better. Be sure to include information about: appearance, habitat, how it cares for its young, predators, diet, and any other interesting facts that you come across in your research.
Can you believe it? We’re a month into 2012. We have less than half of the school year left. What has been the best part of school for you so far? How have you changed during this year and what are you hoping to change in the next year?
Another school year is here! Each year brings a new group of students with new challenges. I have a great class and I’m looking forward to this year. We’ve spent the first two weeks learning the procedures and expectations of the classroom. Now we are beginning to understand what is expected to be successful and we are working to be consistent in our efforts to succeed.
This year we will learn how to write well constructed multi-paragraph essays. We will learn how to research information about specific topics and then how to organize that information into a well organized presentation using Blogs, Glogs, videos, PowerPoint, Prezi, and whatever else we can think of that would be interesting.
Math will be a new challenge. We will sharpen our multiplication and division skills. We will begin to learn about positive and negative numbers. Fractions will be a major part of our learning and just about the time you’ve got that under control we will learn how to use decimals and percents as well.
Cells, plant systems, human systems are all important in our science studies. The water cycle, weather systems, and the solar system should be interesting as well. If that that’s not enough, we’ll add characteristics of matter, chemical compounds, and atoms. It’ll be a challenge, for sure, but you’ll be a much better scientist when it’s over.
The history of our country is another important part of our studies this year. We will learn about the first people to live on this land and their environment affected the way they lived. We will examine European exploration that led to the development of our land, and then we will discover what led to beginnings of our country and how it changed the world.
This will be a year full of new discoveries. I hope you’re ready!!
Well class, here we are again at RBG. It’s a new school year with new faces and new expectations. I hope all of you are excited about what is in store. You will learn many new things.
