Science:

Warm Up:  Consider your muscle tissue.  What makes up muscle tissue and what process forms it?  How does a muscle cell become a muscle cell?  How is this determined?

Today we watched a video called “Mitosis”.  We completed a quiz as we watched it.  If you are absent today, you may make this up by writing 25 facts about mitosis.  Label your paper “Mitosis Video Make-up”.  We also took notes on cell division.  Borrow these from another classmate  and copy them.  The following items make up our notebook:

1.  Chapter 3 Vocabulary Triangles          3.  Pg. 85 Questions

2.  Cell Division Notes                                 4.  Cell Division Vocabulary/Notes

You should also be working on your cover for your notebook.  Everyone should have a table of contents completed as well.

ELA

We did DGP and daily language practice for Monday and Tuesday.  See me for the daily language.  We read “The Drummer Boy of Shiloh” and discussed the aspects that we liked or disliked about the story.  We finished by doing 6 questions over it.  Today’s journal:  Discuss a quality you have that you dislike.

DAR paper is due FRIDAY!
