Ms. Crabtree
Ch 5 Test is scheduled for next Tuesday, April 1st, my last day filling in for Ms. Sullivan. I have secured the National Geographic dvd GALAPAGOS and we will be viewing parts of it off and on during this week.
I have handed out a summary and review packet for all three sections. We discussed section 2 on Fossils today.
HOMEWORK IF NOT COMPLETED IN CLASS IS SECTIONS 1 & 2 of the Review packet.
1st and 2nd periods will begin a fun dinosaur project due next Monday the 31st.
I will give everyone an art sheet tomorrow in which to draw a dinosaur of their fancy.
Give it a scientific name- its meaning using prefixes and suffixes to describe it.
Draw and color the dinosaur.
It must have 4 adaptations.
Example: Aquaphil (water loving)
Bright colors: to help stand out because it is small and to look like poison.
Size: small to allow it to go very fast. It is also able to fit into small places to hide and live.
Ability to swim: for escaping and to get food under the water.
Eyes: help it to see everything from all angles.
No homework

MS. CRABTREE
What a review of Chapter 4! I had many a light bulb go off for many students whose questions were cleared up and the point became clear and evident. Lots of inquiring minds and thinking ones.
We are ready for a test tomorrow on Ch4's three sections and I am confident all will do well.
Study session again Friday morning for those with questions.
Thanks,
Ms. Crabtree
