SWAT & Test Day

First period students started with a vocabulary story where Crest tried to defeat the evil Trough (and use all of the unit's vocabulary words).

Students played a review game called SWAT where questions are posed on the wall and students 'swat' the answer with a flexible hand. Two students face off at a time and the person who gets the answer first gets two points, but correct answers get one. Ties mean that both teams get a point. Students progress until all the questions are answered and most students went at least twice. In both classes, students who sit on the right side of the classroom won and received SpongeBob stickers. Students were given independent study time and then given the test.

After the test, students read a National Geographic article about coral reef fish coloration. Check out the photo gallery for some sweet photos.

Tomorrow students start a unit on ecology to remind them of all the underwater interactions that can occur.

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.
