Science: Today in science students were introduced to some science vocabulary. Using a notetaking guide provided by Mr. Olsen, students followed along during a power-point presentation and answered important questions and filled in any other information deemed important throughout the presentation. Introducing the definitions for root words, along with prefixes and suffixes used in the field of science, will allow students to improve their reading efficiency throughout the school year.
Assignments: Students need to finish up the notetaking guide handed out in class if they did not finish during class. I have also asked students to bring in five (5) scientific words they curious about into class tomorrow.
