A game of evolution got students moving today between academic periods. Through many games of rock, paper, scissors, students work their way up from egg to chicken to dinosaur to celebrity to god realm. Blasphemous, I know, but the students love it. 

We looked at plant reproduction today. Ask your child the difference between an angiosperm and a gymnosperm tonight. 

The Brain Pop website helped fuel student understanding. Check out this diagram if they need help with the homework.

Kate used her chickens to show bullying behavior – that got the students' attention.
