Today we took a test over parts of the skeletal and muscular system. This took up more time than I anticipated, so I had to breeze through the Nervous system powerpoint. Students had been given guided reading activity 56-58 on Monday. They should finish this and begin work on their Degenerative Disease and Disorder report. I offered students 5 bonus points for having this ready to present by Thursday.

Today we went over Lesson 13 after we worked on HSPE and MSP practice. I assigned Lesson 13C, 13D, and 13E. We will review on Monday for Thursday's test.

We will be watching a Charlie Brown Christmas after students have finished their test.

Today we worked on the practice HSPE and MSP. I am trying to familiarize students with these tests coming up in the spring.
