NEW UNIT (:

Today, we started a new unit about the animals, but first, Mrs. Stein gave us grade reports and we saw what we got on the Evolution Test. She told us that we got a good head start on the new semester! After that we had a POP QUIZ on 18.1 **she sort of told us there would be one.** 18.1 was about classifying species and the order of diversity. Once we took the quiz, we took notes on the Animal Of The Day #1. We took notes on a hagfish, which is a slimy, eel like fish that has survived for millions of years. Then, Mrs. Stein introduced to us the Profile Project, where we are going to be invertabrates, an animal without a backbone, and we will create a profile. The project can be found on UP 3. Then, the learning came, and we took notes (:
