Good evening parents and students!

I have wonderful news...Here is a link to the Earth Science textbook online. Students, you no longer have to bring your textbooks home if you have access to the Internet.

Classwork

Today I passed out their tests from Chpt 5 Sec 1-2 and Chpt 6 Sec 1.  They then brainstormed all the ways we use water in our everyday life and pair shared their ideas.  I then did a demo of water distribution on earth.  We talked about the amount of water that most people use in one day and why its important to conserve it. 

Homework

Study/Review "Water Distribution" vocab words for 10 minutes and make sure the B.O.B. section is finished.  Students need to bring colored pencils, crayons, or markers to class tomorrow for extra credit.

Thank you very much,

Mr. Mathews
