Students, I would like you to watch the Bill Nye Video and post a comment that includes 3 pieces of information that you found interesting from the video.  

If other students have already posted, you may read their comments and comment back–nice words only, please!  😉

If your student hasn’t mentioned it–you should check out the Science Tab!  We did a class activity to learn about soil.  I posted a question, and the students needed to read through their resources to find the answers and then post their answers to the blog!  It was an amazing activity that allowed students to work as groups, scan through and review information that they have already read, and a fun way (since they made it a race between the groups) to learn about soil!  🙂  We also talked about writing complete sentences and how to restate part of the question in the answer.  Fun times in Science!!  

(We also did an activity like this to review Main Idea!) 

Also, don’t forget to look over the class calendar–it’s really starting to fill up with some very important events.  🙂
