Weiglein Science 2/13-2/17
Monday: Today we worked as a whole group to check and complete answers in the Science workbook. I wanted to make sure the "Regions" section was completed before we move on to animals and plants and their traits and adaptations. I passed out another copy of the standards for this unit. I also passed out a study guide for the vocabulary test we will have on Friday. The test is on the vocabulary associated with animals and their habits and adaptations. The words are found in the workbook over pgs 102-129. HOMEWORK: Science workbook pgs. 102-105.
Tuesday: Today we went over the homework thoroughly, discussing the vocabulary, and using the text as the source for answers choices, instead of using preconceived knowledge that sometimes is accurate, and sometimes inaccurate. Although the students have a lot of prior knowledge about animals, I've been trying to reinforce the idea that they must use the facts from the text they're reading to answer questions. HOMEWORK: Sc. workbook pgs. 106-107
Wednesday: Today we went over the homework and discussed adaptations of plants in great detail. HOMEWORK: Sc. workbook pgs. 108-111
Thursday: Today we went over homework. We celebrated that everyone had done their homework. Then we acted out migration and hibernation. It was fun and funny. HOMEWORK: study for vocabulary test

So sorry I've been out for 2 days. Also, I didn't look over the math page about perimeter closely. I realized that there's one part that students haven't been trained to do yet. The questions about estimating then measuring in mm can be skipped.

Wednesday 1/18 - Continued reading and studying regions of Georgia and the plants and animals that live there. We worked with a partner to read and answer questions from the Science workbook. Again, we highlighted important facts about the region, along with any plants or animals that live there. We focused intensely on the reading skill of looking back in the text to find answers. HOMEWORK: Read "Mountains" activity booklet and complete the activity on the back page. (Six people today came in with no or incomplete homework.)
Thursday 1/19 - Today we discussed the characteristics of each of Georgia's five regions as we pressed different cookie dough into a mold of the state of Georgia. The Coastal Plains was represented by sugar cookie dough; the Piedmont was chocolate chip cookie; the Mountains was white chocolate/macadamia nut cookie; the Swamps and Marshes were oatmeal/raisin cookie. I'll bake the cookie tonight and we will devour Georgia's regions tomorrow. HOMEWORK: Read "Piedmont" activity booklet and complete the activity on the back page. (Four people came today with no homework.)

NO HOMEWORK. Helpful website: http://naturalhistory.uga.edu/ -- Go to the "Site Index" and look for "Habitats of Georgia."
Tuesday 12/13 - I was out. The sub had students look over a checklist of each region. The checklist included plants and animals of that region. The students then cut out copies of as many plants and animals from that region and taped them onto a poster of each region hanging in the room. HOMEWORK: Science lab book pgs.122 - 125
Wednesday 12/14 - Today we used the above website to fill some of our graphic organizer. We described the Coastal Plains and wrote animals and plants that live there. We did this for the Piedmont and Swamp region as well. HOMEWORK: Science lab book pgs. 126 - 129
