Our students at JMS are very busy. They are also very capable of learning how to prioritize their time and realizing what needs to be completed first. Each class is giving class time to work on their projects and minimum time at home. Now, I tell each of my students if they have to the time to spend researching then go for it. We are all learning. I am gauging our timelines and trying to balance my expectations on what they can get done. Many students are learning how to do homework. Many are struggling with comprehension on reading. It is all good practice and will benefit them. I see many good things coming out of our PBL initiative that we have started this year. I can't wait to see how theses kids finish their year.
Today we talked about Keystone species and realized their importance to an ecosystem. We will visit about that also on Wednesday. This will need to be an addition to our biomes. We have 8 biomes and will need to include at least 1 keystone species for each biome. The students are attempting to finish their research for their projects this week. Then we will spend next week building or presentations and present the following week. Next week will be a 3 day week for some students. Monday is a holiday and Friday some students will be attending the UIL competition in Salado.
