Science:  Today in science students began with the Do Now.  Next, students shared their descriptive paragraphs about their leaf with another table group, and students attempted to identify the plant based on the descriptive paragraph they read.  Next students were given a plant identification book and asked to flip through the guide and try to key out the plant based on the information presented to them.  We will be heading outside for class tomorrow (Thursday) in order for students to collect three different plants species that they will key out in the classroom on Friday.
