Saying I will miss you is an understatement. You have been one of the best students to work with I have ever had the pleasure to teach. Please keep up with me and let me know how you are doing. I will be checking my email all year. I will try to keep fun things on my blog and you can always work on the scavenger hunt. Below is a message from Mrs. Seibert. Please contact her directly if you have anything you would like to contribute. Dear Griffin Students, I hope you have a great summer class of 2026! Thank you for an excellent school year. I want to encourage you to stay connected to your teachers and learning. When COVID19 hit our area, Ms. Robinson and a group of teachers started the Empty Bowls Project to make an impact by supporting families in need. If you would like to help over the summer, we would encourage you to participate! Here is our wish list:
We are working to ensure every student has opportunities to stay active and healthy this summer. - Mrs. Seibert

Wonderful, amazing, spectacular students, this is our last week of school. I'm sure some of you are excited and others are sad. Know you are cared for and will be missed. I will not have my normal ZOOM meeting tomorrow as I need to be at school during that time. However, we will still have our lunch at noon. Can't wait to see you! Zoom code: 4TmghV Even tough we are done taking grades, it doesn't mean we are done learning. I have created a Power Point where you can explore your world and find real life examples of Earth Science. I hope you choose to do the scavenger hunt... it will be fun...

See you soon! I wanted to tell you all how proud I am to have been your teacher this year. You are all magnificent and have been one of my favorite groups of students. Even though this is our last graded assignment, there will be more to come. I will have some fun activities on my blog next week. Also, I know some of you are stir crazy...so I will post little things here and there. We have science all around us and I will continue to use this blog as a means of communication. Just because the school year is 'over', that does not mean that learning has to be. That being said, you have 4...YES 4 steps to todays lesson. Step 1 Watch the below video on metamorphic rocks. Again, Good Info! Step 2 Go to geology.com. Work through the interactive site. Super fun way to create your own rock collection. (Yes, it really is fun.) Step 3 Log on to Brain Pop through MackinVIA. You will have assignments on ALL types of rocks waiting for you. Please, PLEASE, watch the short video before taking the quiz. These are your last grades, make them GREAT!

Step 1 Read the article below. Lots of good info on metamorphic rocks.
Step 2 Log on to the digital textbook. You will find an interactive assignment were you will work through all the different types of rocks. Step 3 I have created a video for you that models how a metamorphic rock is made (see YouTube video below). You will need 3 Starburst candies. 1. Unwrap the candy and place it in a clear baggie. (I would recommend tasting a LITTLE piece of all 3 flavors before you place them in the bag.) 2. Use heat and pressure from your hands to mix the candy. 3. Taste the resulting candy and compare the flavor to the flavor of the original 3 pieces. Kahoot! Challenge
Today we are starting a new challenge on types of rocks. You will have til Monday afternoon to complete. Well, this is the last FULL week of digital learning. I want to tell you how proud of you I am for continuing to work. I know it is hard to manage your time and keep up. You have showed you are true rock stars! First, I have a BIG SHOUT OUT TO: ZOEY WHITE She was the first to correctly identify the ZOOM challenge. We were demonstrating the rock cycle. Mrs. Kimble - Weathering Ms. Boyd - Weathering and erosion Mrs. NeSmith - Cementation and Compaction Mrs. Sprinkle - Melting Mr. Brown - Cooling Kahoot! update - There is only 1 more day left on the Kahoot! Rock Cycle Challenge. Here are our current winners. 1st place - Julia 2nd place - Ben 3rd place - Nat In this lesson, we will continue to learn about rocks. This lesson will have 3 steps. Step 1 Watch the Study Jams on sedimentary rocks. After you are done, 'test yourself' and see how you do. Step 2 Read the below article. Again, you have 2 choices to read. Choose which ever is best for you.
Step 3 Watch the YouTube video. This will help you understand more about sedimentary rocks. ZOOM TUESDAY Don't forget that tomorrow is our ZOOM meeting. We will be meeting to go over content Tuesday at 10 and have lunch at noon. Miss you, see you then! We have the winners of the Kahoot! Soil Challenge...Big shout out to: 1st - Simone 2nd - Julia 3rd - Ogo Congratulations to you all! It's time for our new challenge....ROCK CYCLE Kahoot! Click the link below to play. Also, I have not had a winner yet for all pieces of the activity. Many have identified the rock cycle but the roles for the teachers has not been identified using correct VOCABULARY. Come on, you got this. Yesterday in our ZOOM, we explored an interactive website where I was able to answer specific questions about rocks and even identify some for students. The rock cycle explains how different rocks can change form from one to another. We are continuing to learn about igneous rocks and how to identify them. Step 1 Watch the video about igneous rocks. It is really good information. This video will expand more from yesterdays reading. Step 2 Go to geology.com (button below) Look at the different types of rocks. They are all classified by their color and grain size. After you have explored geology.com, try to identify the rocks in the picture. How did you do? (The answers to the picture identification will be at the end of the quiz in step 3. ) Step 3 By this time you should be ready to show what you know. Click the button to complete the quiz and receive the answers to the rocks above after you have completed the quiz. Take a break from games / YouTube / Anime and play my game...Please! I have been experimenting with some educational games and want to know what you think. Click the link below to go my my game and give me feedback on weather or not I should use this next year. Click the button below and enter code: NESMITH1. You will need to create a quick account. So I completely forgot to post my ZOOM links for today. Please see those below. So yesterday I went to Griffin and packed up for the end of the year. It was so odd. There were no end of the year Field Days, no end of the year hugs... but the weirdest thing about packing up is that the year is NOT over yet. It seems like summer has started and it would be easy to begin the break early, except for the fact that we aren't done learning THEREFORE summer isn't truly here. I want to thank all of you who are still working and completing assignments. It is true testament to your pride and dedication to your education. Be proud of yourself - I AM SUPER PROUD OF YOU! Challenge updates: Sam Gabriel is SO close to solving the process we are demonstrating and the roles of all the teachers. I am looking for the roles as identified using VOCABULARY. Kahoot!

Step 1 Who doesn't LOVE Bill Nye? Watch this video on the Rock Cycle. Step 2 Log on to the digital textbook. I have assigned and interactive activity to further delve into the rock cycle. Step 3 Read the information below about igneous rocks. You do not have to answer the questions, however, you will be responsible for the information on the quiz tomorrow.

BUT you should be Wednesday. Step 1 Watch the video below. Once you have figured out what we are doing, feel free to conduct the activity at home (with a parents supervision). Look at my face LOL! Step 2 You have 3, yes you heard right 3 Brain Pop assignments. 1. Watch the movie 2. Take the GRADED quiz 3. Read the 'In Depth' Section of the assignment Step 3 Read the article below.
