This one is kind of late.  I was helping students. 

7th graders: Write a Reflection (Left-hand page) on what they learned in class today (lesson: What's Going on Inside, about organs and organ systems). Write at least 3 good sentences, using at least 3 vocabulary words.

Grade 6, period 3:  Write a Reflection (Left-hand page) on what they learned in class today (lesson: Measuring Volume). Write at least 3 good sentences, using at least 3 vocabulary words. For those of you who have a copy of the Test Review Sheet, start working on that, so you  can finish it by Thursday.

Grade 6, period 2: Transfer your data from the Measuring Volume activity to the data table on the worksheet. For those of you who have a copy of the Test Review Sheet, start working on that, so you can finish it by Thursday. For those of you who don't, see below if you want to get started.
