Setting Goals

If setting goals is a challenge for you, then try using a different word or phrase, such as setting your intentions, wishes, dreams or hopes for the new school year.  Also, consider the following question:
What do I need to DO to feel the way I want to about myself in school?

The part of your answer that describes what you need to DO  is the focus.  Make a plan.

We will be discussing how goals are important for success and how your feelings can affect your choices.

What Else is in the Solar System?

Today we reviewed our notes on the planets and discussed the formation of the Solar System.  We took Cornell-style notes in our notebooks (p.229) from the powerpoint presentation on my webpage,link.

It was a great mind-blowing  conversation! 

Our Solar System

Today we launch beyond the Earth and the Moon to explore the other parts of our Solar System.

We will watch a short video classic with Bill Nye the Science Guy introducing the scale of the planets in the solar system. This week you will take notes as you explore the solar system!  You will make a min-book to show off all that you learned about our solar neighborhood.  Check out the resources on my webpage!
