Homework: Producers and Consumers worksheet: Using the Word Bank, fill in the blanks to complete the sentences. Also, Choose an Introduced Species to write on the sign up sheet if you haven't already. Research notes WITH SOURCES due at the end of this week. Sources means you must write down the name of the books, magazines, websites where you got the information.

I'm here at Study Hall (voluntary) with 16 students who are here to do homework.  Not only do they have a somewhat quiet place to do homework, study or research, but they also get a snack, extra credit, and access to an I-pad on which to research their Introduced Species project.
