My plans changed today due to a few challenges that presented.  We worked on mini books today and began our Scientific Speculation sheet for Lesson 9.  For homework everyone needs to read Cephalopods and do an activity on the coarse website.  For those of you whom have recently joined us there is a coarse website organized by the writer of this book.  It includes lots of information about the topics we discuss from the book and is organized by Lesson #.  It is a wonderful asset and very helpful to reinforce what we have learned.  I told the students to work on either Lesson 9 or 10.  You will find the web address on pg Viii of your textbook as well as the password.  Next Monday we will be placing our Triops (brine shrimp) into water.  They are expected to hatch and present within 24 hours and live for up to 3 months.  I will be needing volunteers from families that are willing to take the tank home over weekends so please be thinking about this.  Please have students bring a plastic bottle to class on Wednesday.
