=Week at a Glance =

==In addition to their spelling pre-test, packet, and final test on Friday, students will also be helping the film editing club put together a video thank-you to The Amazing Jeffo. I will be asking students comfortable with being video taped to record their thank you and during the Monday/Wednesday/Friday club time, the film editing group will put it all together and post it on the school main page. ==

== Our writing activity this week will be constructing a thank-you letter using the proper format. High school students will have to balance this assignment with their continuing zoology project writing. ==

== During high school science, students will learn additional science terms and complete another section packet (downloadable) while middle school students will review the tropozone material from before testing and learn about the other zones surrounding the earth. ==

High School
=== Students were given their interactions with communities packets and asked to finish up their five questions. Once finished they worked on their new Ecology vocabulary worksheet.   === 

 __Middle School__
<span style="color: rgb(210, 30, 30);"> ===<span style="color: rgb(210, 30, 30);"> Students were introduced to the five layers of the Earth's atmosphere and what happens in each layer (troposhere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere). After a brief review/discussion students were divided into groups of 5 and given a massive expanse of paper (around 10 feet long, 5 feet wide) to illustrate the 5 layers. Thursday, we will add the different cloud formations that occur at different heights in the troposphere. === layers of atmosphere.pdf ||
