NEWSLETTER MRS. TURNER FEB. 6-10
SOS- Save Our Science Lab!!! Many thanks to all of the families who have made donations to our Science Lab. Ford is very fortunate to have Mrs. Cauffiel and the Science Lab. Our Science scores are much higher because of the hands-on activities that the students are able to experience. Please consider making a contribution if you haven’t already. We can only keep the Science Lab if we raise enough money. It is not funded by the county.
SCIENCE TEST- Students will be bringing home their science folders tonight to study for a Science test on Tuesday over the different regions of Georgia. Students will need to know all of the regions, their location in Georgia, and some plants and animals found in each region.
ANIMAL RESEARCH PROJECT- This morning, students chose an animal found in Georgia that they would like to research. Mrs. Harp will be doing two lessons this week showing the students how and where to locate information. In class, we will practice reading a nonfiction piece on wolves together, and I will model how to take notes on what we have read. Students do not need to start on their project yet! Please write the name of the animal you would like to research in the agenda.
