Learnin' Landform Vocabulary

Students, today, started their Stream Table Lab Notebook. They did pages 2 and 3, which contains a landform map and asks for students to use page 36 in their textbook to find the location of the vocabulary words and write brief definitions of each word. Kids got done in no time, flat. Despite the threat that I planned on giving them a surprise test on the vocabulary. It could be tomorrow, it could be Friday, it could be next week. They did not care. Since I now know Leah and Nick read my blog, I will give you the heads-up -- it's tomorrow. You will have to match definition to vocab word and then mark the location of that vocab word on a blank map.

Mr. Fausnaught Can Shoot Hoops
The boss was outside my room, this afternoon, as classes were passing. He waited for a clear moment in the hallway and banked a plastic soda bottle off the wall and into the trash can. Nice shot! Now you know why I wrestled in high school and not played b-ball.

Gave Back Tests, today.
That short five-question multiple-choice test was returned to students, today, as was the graded "Rocks and Minerals Lab Notebook." Parents, take a look at 'em. Your kiddoes are starting to shut-down for Christmas and its not even Halloween, yet.
