I hope everyone had a restful Holiday yesterday.

We are back and ready to move on with our study of "Water in Earth's Processes". Students have been working on our Survivior Sations over the past several days and are just about finished! We will have a quiz on Thursday over this information. Students can study (and should study) the information they have in their IAN,  the labs, and handouts from this section. They can also read over Chapter 11 Sections 1 (page 309 only), Section 3 pages 320-321, and page 379 may also be helpful. Be sure to understand what transpiration is, what percent of earth's water is salt, and what percent is fresh, and again, review all of the papers you have completed in the stations.

Homework for tonight: Study!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday!! I am so appreciative for all of the amazing notes, well-wishes, and gifts I recieved from all of you! It was so kind of you to be so generous and I truly am thankful for each student and family that I have the opportunity to share this year with. I hope that this new year brings more of the same~ you are all incredible!

We kicked off this new year with our new unit "Water in Earth's Processes". We are in the midst of our "Survivor Challenge" where we will work toward mastery of the water standards. Hopefully your student can fill you in with amazing information and details about what we are doing!

Homework - None
