We began our new chapter today. Chapter 2, section 1 is Rocks and Weathering. We read and began to discuss the section today (Erosion, Mechanical and Chemical Weathering, etc). For tomorrow, the students are to complete the 2.1 Key Terms/Concepts in his/her notebook. Most students were able to finish in the amount of time given in class.

As an fyi, I will be collecting the notebooks again - this time for the second quarter grade. I will collect them around 1/21 or 1/22. The students are aware to the assignments and proper titles/format they are to follow.

We went over Sections 3-4 (yesterday's assignment) so all students had a chance to make sure their study guides were completely filled out. Europe Map Quiz and Chapter 11 Note Check today - grades should be posted on Family Access by the end of the day. Students worked in pairs or groups of 3 on the Alphabet Review for Chapter 11. Each group needed to find a word or phrase from Chapter 11 that began with each letter of the alphabet. Groups received points if they had a word no other group had chosen.
