UPCOMING EVENTS: Just because it’s nice to know, here is what I’ve got planned. (All plans are subject to change, of course.)
April 11th – LAST REACTION PAPERS DUE – BRING YOUR COMPLETED NATURE JOURNAL – also, an in class field trip.
April 18th – Guest Speaker on the ecology of the Great Salt Lake
April 20th – Saturday – OPTIONAL all day field trip to Antelope Island
April 25th – FINAL TEST – in class field trip where you get to show what you know
Homework items:
READ 10 Essential Herbs chapter 3 on chaparral – pages 53-84.
READ What a Plant Knows, chapter 3 “What a Plant Feels” pages 49-70. Be prepared to narrate at least part of each chapter to me. (Narrate in this instance essentially means tell back to me what you remember from the reading, but in your own words. You’ll have a chance to build on others’ narrations and have others build off your own narration.)
FINISH your last Reaction Papers and Nature Journal Pages. For those planning on earning the Naturalist, Botanist, or Ecologist awards, I need to have the rest of your papers THAT DAY and I need to see your nature journal so I can mark off that you’ve completed your assignments. For the Botanist and Ecologist awards – please print off THIS PAGE and have your parent sign it before you hand it back to me. For those who have earned the extra optional awards, I’ll contact you AFTER I have all your paperwork and we can get your awards ordered. TALK TO ME IF YOU NEED AN EXTENSION.
Teaser for next time we meet…
