On Friday, students continued the note on extinction. They then viewed part of an episode from Planet Earth about seasonal forests.

On Wednesday, we discussed the concept maps students had created on the disappearance of frogs. Students then answered #2-4 on p. 11. We then discussed the species at risk classification system and students filled out a table on this system.

Today we took up the ecology diagnostic quiz from last Thursday. We then examined two important species: the monarch butterfly and frogs. For homework, students are to read The Silence of the Frogs and create a concept map on why frogs are disappearing.

On Thursday, students continued to make a list of strategies when learning and studying, based on their personal learning style profile that they created on Wednesday. They then completed a review sheet on ecology terms and concepts. This will show them and me what they already know and what we need to spend some time working on.
If you haven't brought in your signed science assessement policy letter, please do so on Tuesday.
Have a great long weekend!

Today students completed Felder's Learning Styles Questionnaire. They then used their learning style profile to compile a list of learning and studying strategies that should help them be more successful in school.
Absent students are asked to complete this activity for homework. The questionnaire and the description of the learning styles can be linked to from this blog (look at the side under Useful Web Sites).

Welcome to the SNC2P course blog! Here you will find daily updates on what was done in class, important dates, homework, as well as many useful links and videos. The purpose of this blog is to keep you and your parents/guardians informed about what is happening in class. If you are absent from class you can check the blog to find out what you missed, no need to ask me what you missed!
On the first day of class, we will be reviewing the contents of the student planner and then discussing the SNC2P course. Here is a link to my classroom expectations list, please review them with your parent/guardian.
Also, please remember to show the course newsletter and summative assessment policy letter to a parent and have them sign both sheets. You will return these signed sheets to me the next day.
