Welcome Back!!

Hello Students and Teachers, 
Welcome Back to the 2017-18 School year! This is Biology/VA Comp and we have already gotten started infusing the elements of Art with Scientific Thinking and Problem Solving.

Lat week: We learned...
* The 7 elements of Art: using an individualized descriptive application of the Elements. To further expand our knowledge we started and will continue this week using the R.A.F.T strategy to demonstrate understanding through kinesthetic motion.

* We learned that we use the Scientific Method more often then we notice. We worked through real life problems and created probable solutions and worked in multiple types of groupings to identify, apply, modify, and solve a variety of simple and complex problems. We practiced strategies to help us understand and answer word problems completely.

This week:
* We will take the Biology Pretest
* Practice F.A.T and O.P.T.I.C strategies with various art and Biology concepts.
* Finish the Elements of Art RAFT activity
* Continue maintaining our Interactive Notebooks (organizational practice)
* Introduce concepts of Ecology through the Oh Deer activity and vocabulary practices

This week in Environmental Science

We will cover the following topics;
Land: Use, management, and conservation
Soil Horizon and conservation
Food and Agriculture.
