Science - Mr. Cox

The students were assigned a page from their Directed Reading workbooks to complete for homework tonight, it is due tomorrow at the start of class. They also have a drawing about the levels of the ecosystem that is due Thursday (remember the skate party is tomorrow, so they will probably want to finish it today).

Science - Mr. Cox

We began learning about parts of the ecosystem from Chapter 10 Section 1 of the science book. I recommend students reading it at home as well because there will be material from it on Friday's quiz. The students had a homework assignment to draw the levels of organization in an environment. They are to draw the diagram on page 273 of their book, nicely and in color. (I intentionally left the biosphere part out as it is not a 6th grade expectation.)

Tomorrow all students will be bringing home a letter with additional information to help them in science. All they need to do is get it signed by a parent/guardian to start the grading period off with a free 100!!!
