We will begin our wholey notes on Tuesday, review notes on Wednesday, quiz on Lesson 5 on Thursday (includes vocabulary - vertebrate, invertebrate, complete metamorphosis, incomplete metamorphosis, and life cycle).
In addition, friendly letters are due on Friday, December 4th. Students have been using class time to research an animal that lives in North America, using report form graphic organizer and reporting back to King Ferdinand & Queen Isabella. To help break the project down, students should use the following time frame for unfinished classwork:
Monday & Tuesday - Research finished, topic paragraph completed.
Wednesday - Second and concluding paragraph finished.
