Omlets Anyone?

For Science!


Hey Group Three....

Glad all our eggs didn't scramble!

Objects at rest....

...until acted upon by an outside force. What force acted upon the eggs? (and no, it wasn't the table acting on that one egg that didn't make it!)

TAKE 2

They all made it this time! Okay, the glass broke, but the eggs made it!

The Wednesday That Was...

Hello Group 3,

I hope you get a chance to get out and enjoy the Indian Summer we've been having for the last few days. The weather's been great.

I had a lot of fun in science today building our block structures....and watching them fall, and eventually stay put. See if you can quiz your parents; ask them, "An object at rest, tends to stay at.....?" See if they know the answer! But remember, no pulling out the tablecloth at home....unless you ask Mom or Dad first!

Welcome!

Hey there Group Three! Welcome to the Group Three Blog!

Here you can check your assignments, see what's coming up in the classroom, and the school year, and even drop me a line. My email address is johnc@clarkschool.com.

Each night you are assigned at LEAST 30 minutes of work in your math book. If your having trouble with a new skill, and need to wait until class to ask a question, PLEASE work with some skills that need reviewing (multiplication, division) so you're still doing math at night.

Other assignments will be listed here as well, but ALWAYS check your assignment books, and contact other classmates if you have questions on your homework.

There will be more to come- check back daily!

Current Assignments

Math - 30 Minutes in your book- or finish any worksheets I have given you.

Science - Please read and review chapter 1 in your science book. Answer questions 1-3 on p.9 on a separate piece of paper. This is due next Wednesday.
