Safety Test

Today students started with an introductory Brainpop video about oceans and ocean life. Students were given a short quiz about this information to see if they were paying attention and to see if they could familiarize themselves with some tough vocabulary.

Students then reviewed safety concepts and got to know each other a little better playing "Fact or Scat." Safety tests were taken and scored.

An introduction to the world's oceans was started so that students could get an idea of how big the oceans are, where they are, and to familiarize them with the fifth ocean, the Southern Ocean around Antarctica.

Tomorrow we are going to walk around outside and evaluate the school's water issues.

Computer Lab Etiquette

You are in the computer lab to do work for this class. If you are not doing work, then we will have problems.

Do not pack up early. Work until the bell or until MsJ says.

SAVE OFTEN. And if you save to a key, also save it to your number. If you lose it, you will have to do it again.

If MsJ asks for your attention, stop what you are doing and listen to what she has to say.

You may watch videos about your organism through reliable websites.

You may listen to music through the computer if you have your own headphones. Rule1 MsJ cannot hear it. You get one warning. Rule2 Turn it on and listen – no million clicks and constant changing. Take both ear phones out when MsJ is talking.
