Good Afternoon!

The Terra Nova is now completed (aside from "make up" days if your child missed any part of the exam.)

The science research project is due on November 6th and I have given the children the following information in regards to it:



-Pick 2 animals.
-Go to the web sites kidsbiology.com and kids.nationalgeographic.com and find out the following information:
*Their name
*If they are endangered or not.
*What they eat.
*Where they live.
*What type of animal they are (example: mammal, amphibian,)
*Three interesting facts about them.
*What type of ecosystem the animal belongs in.

The project has to be done on poster board (oak tag) and include pictures of both animals to go along with the information. (The information must be typed or written out neatly on a separate sheet of paper and glued to the board, the children do not have to write on the actual board.)

I will be grading these as a TEST grade since the children did not take a chapter 2 science test. 

Also, some of the children asked if they can do more than 2 animals, which is fine, and if they will receive extra credit points towards their grade. 

Thank you! 

Ms. DiVirgilio

Good Afternoon!


Homework:

1. Read for 25 minutes and log. I'm going to start checking logs everyday.
2.  Get tests signed and do corrections. They will receive an addition 5 points on their tests when they do corrections if their grade is below a 70. (Not meaning that all children don't have to do the corrections, just the ones who have scored below a 70 will receive an additional 5 points.)


Reminders:

No school on Monday.

Terra Nova testing begins on Tuesday, October 13th. This is not a pass/fail test. It has no affect on their grades or their standing in fourth grade, meaning they won't be detained in 3rd for another year if they do not do well. This test is just to assess what they've learned so far and to use as a benchmark for further instruction. I've been practicing with them in class using this website:  http://reading-sage.blogspot.com/2013/03/terranova-practice-test-terra-nova-test.html

Get lots of rest, eat a good breakfast and bring 2 #2 pencils on Tuesday!

Have a good weekend!
Ms. DiVirgilio

Reminders:

-Children will get their Math and Science tests back tomorrow and will do corrections for them. Meaning that they will correct whatever problems they got wrong on a separate sheet of loose leaf paper and they receive an additional 5 points on their test for doing so. Also, I drop the lowest test grade in each subject.
-Terra Nova begins on Tuesday October 13th a letter will go home tomorrow explaining the test and how to prepare outside of what we've been doing in class.
