First, thanks to all of you who have given me feedback on this blog. I appreciate your thoughts. It's for you after all, so I will keep working to make it even more useful!

Juicy Foods Finish
We dehydrated foods last week, then today Mr. Campbell helped us weigh their final masses. What's left for tonight is to calculate the percentage loss of water, create bar graphs for each food, and write concluding thoughts and observations on the back. The data is all available online, and there are direction reminders in our Google Classroom.
So what can you do?
Not much! The arithmetic is calculating percentages, calculators allowed, and observations are theirs. If they are having trouble thinking of sentences to write, have them tell you what the foods looked like, what they noticed about the differences in their masses, and anything that surprised them. Once they express those thoughts to you, help them put them into words on the page. Honest observations!
Next week we're back to normal! It's been great conferencing with y'all. ;-)
