Agenda

1. Good copy of "les buts" - now overdue
* Today, using the iPads, students started creating the visual "inspiration board" to go along with their written text. Students need to have the good copy of their text written before beginning this next step. Any students who were not ready to use an iPad today are encouraged to complete their good copy over the week to ensure they have a full working period on Monday to complete their board.

2. Tomatosphère graph and questions  - Monday
* Students had one last work period this morning to finish both their graphs and questions. Any students who are not finished should be coming home with their Science duotangs this weekend.

3. Science "Thinking" homework - Monday
* We will be starting a short design process activity in class on Monday. Students will be working either independently or with a partner of their choice to design a Tomatosphere follow-up experiment using the plants we've grown in class. This will be a 'theoretical experiment' - meaning students will not have to carry out the experiment itself, just create the plan (purpose, hypothesis, materials and method) for the experiment.
Over the weekend, students should consider with whom they would like to work and start brainstorming different experiment ideas they would like to test.
They will have four work periods next week to research, plan and write the steps of their experiment, so any 'thinking' they do this weekend will certainly help them be on task in class next week.

4. Student Conferences - Tuesday evening (4:30 - 7:30)
*No appointment needed. Please drop by anytime and stay for as little or as long as you'd like.
Looking forward to seeing you then! *

Have a great weekend! :)
