BIOLOGY - PERIOD 1 - Thursday, September 20th

Please comment on the following (this was your Home Learning assignment which is due today):

Choose one of the 8 (eight) characteristics of life. In your opinion, explain how the tadpole expresses that characteristic.

Using 1 (one) complete sentence or more, state:
1) the characteristic you chose,
2) Why you selected this characteristic, and
3) How the tadpole expresses that characteristic.

Example:
The characteristic I chose was metamorphosis because I have been watching and drawing the tadpole during the past three classes. I have observed that it grows and develops, changing its body shape and size.

yo escogi metamorphosis y eso serelaciona con tadpoles porque ellos crecen y se desarollan.

Hey Ms. Profenno i looked at the tadpoles and from what i inferred they are developing very rapidly. Their also trying to catch up with the size of the goldfish in the tank.When I looked at the tadpoles on September 18th they looked alot smaller and moved around the tank alot slower. Im So Ready to Disect them but I'd wait until they turn into frogs. Well, I hope your havin a good time and your destination can't wait until you come back because I miss you! Okay later.

HEY!!! GOOD MORNING!!! Is anybody still at the computer????????? More in an minute as I type as fast as I can --- so much to share with my favorite Period 1 blog literate class!


Missing you all too! I am LOVING your blogs!

Anonymous said...

First of all let me say Hi Mz.Profenno, how iz your time so far in Utah ? Even though it's a convention I hope you have fun. The characteristic I chose Evolution. I chose evolution because we have been watching tadpoles and they are evolving into frogs even though that's not what were looking for. Like I said in the sentence before this one they are evolving into frogs.

Thanks ms.Profenno 4 reading this "DON'T WORK 2 HARD ENJOY YOUR TIME IN UTAH !!!!!!!

Ok -So here's what I am dying to know:

How did class go today?

How was the time management? Like, were you able to complete the reading in Jumping Mouse, do the lab activity with the algae, and then blog and book work?

Or was there just too much reading so that you did not have time for the more active activities in class.

I know that class gets out in 5 minutes, if you want to, all gather round in the back by the computers and let's chat for a few minutes.

PS - Ask the sub his/her permission if you can share with me what his/her name is.

Why don't the fastest 5 bloggers hop on the back 5 computers to type for the class and we'll chat for the next 5 minutes.

AY MISS.P HOW YOU DOING IT'S ME LES,I JUST TOOK A LOOK AT THE TADPOLES AND THERE DEVELOPING QUITE NICE I SEE SOME OF THE TADPOLES GROWING LEGS AN THERE MOUTH IS GETTIN BIGGER AND I DID ALL MY WORK.

miami7151 said...

Hey, I forgot to call myself Ms. Profenno in the other identity. It's OK that you recognize it's me when it says miami7151, yes??

How many of you saw the little bugs in the algae like 4609379 did?? I am going to teach you what those little bugs are and what their purpose is. I can't remember if it's next class or the one after.... I don't have the lesson plans memorized. I was HOPING that the students would see all the bugs. They have a name. Some are called zooplankton. (you know, like on sponge bob?) If you watch sponge bob, then you probably already know where they go in the food chain of marine life.

4609379 - NO WAY!!! some of the tadpoles are growing LEGS!!! I missed it by one day!!!!!!!!!! bummer. glad that you got to see it

0114338 - si, se que con tadpoles es bien facil a ver el concepto de metamorphosis. se puede ver una lamina en la clase a tras que habla sobre la metamorphosis de los gusanitos que cambia y ser mariposos. Uds. pueden varla y comparar como son iguales los mariposos con los frogs, zapos? como se dicen frogs en espanol?

miami7151 said...

Class,
I know it's silent reading time, but do you think that the sub would let you all gather around the back computers and read my posts? One of the Teaching Assistants (sorry, your names are not on the wall yet... I'll ask one of you to do that for me, probably next class).... but one of you could read my posts en voz alta while everyone else is SILENT, SILENT, SILENT and we can chat on line for 10 minutes.

Leslie, you just posted. Are you still there? Can you organize this?

Someone give me a shout and tell me what the classroom organization looks like. Can everyone spare 10 minutes, come to the back, gather around the 5 computers, LISTEN, and have a conversation with me.

Let's see if this works.

YOU DECIDE!!! It's all on you whether you (as a class) can organize yourselves and listen.

(SORRY I DID IT WRONG ON THE FIRST BLOG THAT I COMPLETED)
I also choose metamorphosis as my characstic because the size of the tadpoles is increasing tremendously.

Anonymous said...

Leticia - Ms. P here. Tell me what's happening? Is the class getting organized in the back? Can you get everyone's attention?

Don't bother reading all my previous posts right now. Everyone can do that later on their own time.

Let's start a new conversation after everyone's gathered in the back. Make sure the sub is ok with this.

THANKS

miami7151 said...

Letecia -- Sorry, I spelled your name wrong. I was typing in a hurry

miami7151 said...

lAtecia - got it now... my apologies twice

miami7151 said...

And Jalessa - is this how you spell your name right? I looked it up last class (don't have the roster in front of me now) but i think there is one letter different in the spelling of Jalessa Collier and Jalissa Davis. Did I get it right this time?

miami7151 said...

Ok class,

There are only a few minutes left in class. Let's not stress over getting the class organized. I want to you have enough time to make sure that the lab tables are all cleaned up and the petri dishes are away and that there is no TRASH on the floor. Please leave the room cleaner than when you found it this morning.

Thank you all for being my students. This is going to be a wonderful year!

I am publishing this and then writing one last comment before the bell rings.

miami7151 said...

Continued....

Can everyone shoot for being all cleaned up and packed up next class Monday by 8:50 am? We can spend the last 20 minutes of class blogging and I will facilitate the discussion.

Think about it. Tell me if you think that there was TOO MUCH work assigned today and that you need those last 20 minutes of class to work. This is fine. What we can do then is gather around the computers after announcements and read together as a class -- You will read my posts and I will read your responses. Choose 5 good typists to sit at the computers to type for the class. If you want I can assign you a computer to stand around so everyone can at least be able to read the screen...

AH!!!!!!!!!! Bell rang!!!!

OVER AND OUT!!!
