Due to this being a hectic finals week, instead of putting a separate post for each class for the entire week, I thought I'd give a basic rundown since this week is almost all about finals.....
High School Classes:
The final for all my high school classes is on Wednesday. Anatomy and Biology will have a multiple choice final. Zoology will have a lab final. Field Biology will continue their paper writing for their final in my class. On Thursday & Friday, activities are TBD.
Junior High Life Science:
This week we continue studying ecosystems and the sun. We will do differentiated activities and video lecture notes in class.
I hope everyone is making plans for a relaxing, yet SAFE holiday season!!!
