Each student has been given an Earth Science textbook. It should be kept at home until May to use as a resource and for various homework assignments.
 
Please check your student's planner for the related readings for each unit.
 
Please let me know if your student will need 2 books because they stay in multiple homes during the week. I will do my best to accommodate all requests based on first come first served basis.
  
My hope is to help your student learn study habitats this year that will make their transition to high school a breeze. 
 
Their assignments will be written on the board each day in class (homework three (3) times per week). My expectation is that they will copy down each assignment in their planner at the beginning of class.
 
If you would like to assist your student in the learning process feel free to check out the following website that lists the nightly homework:
 
 
Upcoming dates for Earth Science Summative tests & large projects will listed under the Notes to Parents tab in Infinite Campus.
