**** The lesson plans are based on the classes progress and will be adjusted if needed. There may be times when we do not get to a certain point, and it must be carried over into the next week. The next week's lesson plans will show these changes.

Remember, never wait the night before a test to look over material. It is very helpful to look over a couple vocabulary words each night. Some chapters will include labeling a map. If so, begin identifying some of the places.

*** It never hurts to get a head start.

This week, we will begin _Chapter B1 in our Science book. We will only be discussing lessons 1 and 2 of this chapter. The students will view flipcharts, read lessons, and complete activities to prepare them for their test for this chapter.

The vocabulary words for the chapters can be found in the flashcards section of Schoolnotes. Students can begin studying them for their test next week.

   ESSENTIAL VOCABULARY- Each week, students will be given a vocabulary word that helps the students develop academic background knowledge for academic vocabulary. In order to develop this,students will complete various activities that will aide in the retention of the material.  This weeks, word is symbiosis__. Students will keep an essential vocabulary folder in the classroom and add additional words weekly.
