=Week at a Glance =

===This week students in high school will be working on researching and taking notes for their zoology project. Since they are in the Ecology unit, that's where their focus will be in learning about their specific animal. There will be a note-taking guide handed out as well as a writing sample this week about the ecology/habitat of their animal. High school students will also be taking a test on Ecology terms and ideas on Thursday. === === Students in middle school will be learning about the different atmospheric levels and which cloud types fit into them as well as topographical features and how they affect weather patterns. Their writing sample this week will be about friends--what personal qualities make a good friend? How does a good friend support you? Are you a good friend? ===

==Today's warm-up was about the homophones "whether" and "weather." Students filled in a very short paragraph that used both words and we went over it orally at the end of 4 minutes. ==



== Both middle school and high school students received their spelling pre-test today and then were given their spelling packets to work on. Middle school students who were gone at the end of last week were taken to another room to take (or finish) their cloud test. ==
