Science:  Today in science, students began class with the Do Now.  Next, students participated in a Solar System walkabout in the library, put on by Ms. Pasteris's classes.  Students moved around the library, moving to different stations filling in a information sheet.  Students were then instructed to use their completed information sheet to answer several questions related to the solar system. 

Assignments:     Students should be completing the solar system questionaire handed out at the end of class.
