The students are working very hard on their projects. I enjoy seeing all of the resources they are using to teach their lessons. We have seen videos on youtube, brain pops, experiments, demonstrations and wonderful creative ideas. They are having a good time and learning along the way.
The end of the nine weeks is coming soon. Please remember all work is due by Friday.
The students will be going to the computer room on Monday and Tuesday of next week to take some district test in science. They need to review cells, classification and human body systems. This test is created by the district on these subjects.
There will be a new gizmo assigned later this week. It will be on Homeostasis. Please remind the children to do the assessment after Gizmo. It is the main part of their grade. I still have students who have not completed the last three assessments assignment in February and January. The students must complete any Gizmo assessments by 5:00 pm on Friday. I will pull the final computer report at that time.
Field Trip!!!
The following Field Trips are coming up!!!
World of Nations- April 29,2010-Metro Park $10.00 will include lunch ticket and drink. The money will be due by March 25. This is the date the City of Jacksonville must have the money.

Criteria for project
The students have been working on a project since last week on a body system. They have to teach the system they either chose or were assigned. The only exception is the endocrine system waist down and the reproduction system. I will teach these systems in scientific manner with relation to Science not Health.
The students groups must have a Bell ringer, lesson (can use any of the following: power point, videos, brain pops, work sheets) and Assessment (quiz)
The first group 4B and 6B will start teaching Tuesday and 1A,2A and 3A will start on Wednesday
The criteria is as follows:
The Product
* Identifies the organs and the system
*Explains the function of the system
*Identifies the type of cells
*Explains how the cells in the system get nutrients. And how they get rid of waste
*How does this system work with other systems?
*What is the role of the system in maintaining homeostasis in a sixth grade child?

Body Systems and letter
Hi Everyone!
We are currently surviving the FCAT. All the homework/classwork/test/projects and everything I received by 3/5/2010 was graded and posted on the Oncourse system. I have a few more late papers to add this week. We did clean out a locker or two and found some of our missing work. Students can also get missing worksheets. The worksheets are located near the turn in bin. Late work is not given priority to post. I do check on all questions sent to me via email. I also have many, many nameless papers posted in my room.( the papers are put away during FCAT and will reappear on Thursday).
The students should currently be working on a body system to teach to the other members of their class . Each student has been assigned to a group and are producing a lesson on their system. They may use power points, questions from the Book, poster, games, activities and such to produce their lesson. They must also have an assessment to their lesson. They will be given three days to produce the project.
The students will not be teaching the endocrine system waist down, reproduction system or excretory systems. I will teach these systems in a scientific manner. The students have all received a letter to their parents about these lessons.
The book the students are using can be found at my.hrw.com The book is listed in the top as Human Body Systems and Health.
We would like the following supplies: Tissues and paper
Thank you
