Monday's agenda

On Monday we learned a new strategy for interactive note-taking called "Cornell Notes". This is a strategy that allows students to identify the important content material and also serves as a studying tool (when you use the recite flap).
We started our NEW unit "Ecology", which is the study of how living things interact with their environment.

Upcoming Unit Test for Ecology....make sure we are studying

Parents and Students please make sure your children are ready for their upcoming test!!
