Hi everyone!

Tonight's Homework:

• Spelling: Unit 26 sentences
• Math:  Decimals worksheet (both sides)

Extra Credit Opportunity for Science!!

Students who would like to earn some extra credit for science can make a Moon Diary.  We are in the middle of a unit on the solar system, and today's topic was the moon.  In order to create a Moon Diary, students will need to observe the moon each night and keep track of their observations in the diary.  Each page should include the following information:

1. The date
   
2. A description of the weather for that evening
3. A description of the moon that evening
4. A drawing of the sky, including the moon, for that evening

Students will get one point extra credit for each page done correctly.  There should be one page for every day they observe the moon.  The Diary is due the day everyone comes back from Spring Break.  That gives the students a month of observation.  :-)

Some things to take into consideration:

• The diary can be done in a notebook, a journal, handmade using construction paper, on the computer, etc.  (The drawings must be done by hand, though.)
• The diary must be neatly done and organized, using good sentences and spelling. 
• It's ok if some days are skipped.  Students will receive a point for each day they complete.  If they complete 10 days correctly, 10 points.  If they complete 20 days correctly, 20 points, etc.
