Tuesday, November 15th, 2011

Today is our first time using the blog this year. We just took our first Science CBA over Physical Science content and today we will begin our unit on Earth Science. Today you made vocabulary cards for the following words:

72. Model- something that represents something else
73. Boundary- a limit or border of an area or region
74. Structure- something built by people, like a road or a building
75. Map- a drawing of an area, usually as though you were looking down on it
76. Cartographer- a person who makes maps
77. Grid- a network of vertical and horizontal lines that form squares on a map
78. Symbol- a color, shape or texture used on a map to represent something else; like a road
79. Key- an explanation of any symbols used on a map

Tomorrow in class, we will become cartographers and create a map of the school. For today's blog entry I'd like you to write a short paragraph, describing what you think we will be doing tomorrow. In your paragraph you will need to make sure to include all eight of our new vocabulary words, make them bold or italic to make them stand out when I am grading your entries!! Remember, no names, only your classroom number. She the first comment as an example...

Have fun!!!

  1. I think that tomorrow in Science we will become CARTOGRAPHERS (this is in all caps because it is one of the eight words) by ..........

  2. I think that tomorrow in science we will become CARTOGRAPHERS,an make a MODEL of our school and make sure we have BOUNDARY so it will look good,and have a STRUCTURE . I like creating MAPS and GRIDS and onn a map you have to have a KEY and a SYMBOL

  3. I think that tomorrow in Science we will become CARTOGRAPHERS by drawing a MODEL.In this MODEL it will have a MAP of Thompson Elementary. This will drawed as a GRID.It will not be open so this will have a BOUNDARY. Also this will have a KEY. In this KEY it will have SYMBOLS of what is on the building. Every kid will be building this STRUCTURE. That is what I think we will be doing tomorrow.
    Bye!

  4. I think that tomorrow we will become CARTOGRAPHERS BY MAKING A MAP AND a little structure. And a model and on that map there will be grids there will also be a boundary on there i will do symbols on the keys so you wont get confused.

  5. i think that tomorrow in science we will become CARTOGAPHERS by creating MAPS , creating SYMBOLS , using KEYS , using GRIDS , building SCULPTURS , looking at MODELS and drawing borders # 22

  6. I think that tommorow we are going to be great CARTOGRAPHERS.I think we are going to make a great model.We have learned alot about maps,and keys hav'nt learned much about symbols,and grids. But can't wait to do the structers. Waitnot a fan of boundry #23

  7. I think tomorrow in science we will become CARTOGRAPHERS by making a
    MAP. Because a CARTOGRAPHERS -it means a person who makes a map.Then we are going to be using a SYMBOL.A SYMBOL-a color,texture to represent a road.A a MODEL to to use something that represent's something else.A KEY symbol used on a map,A GRID vertical and horizontal lines.BOUNDARY-border of an area,STRUCTURE-something built by people.

  8. I think that we'll become cartographers by making maps of the school. we'll add all of a maps properties like the structure, the grid , the limit of the school [boundary] , the symbols,the key,and the model.

  9. (Number 18 ) I think that we will be CARTOGRAPHERS because ......... Were going to learn the importance of the KEY, the GRID, Model, STRUCTURE, SYMBOL, BOUNDARY and the importance of the Map. Then I think were going to choose 5 partners then we going get a long sheet copy paper ( Something that's long and thick). But before we do all of this you are going to kind of walk us through it. Then you are going to give us about two hours, after that were are going to go around and look at others. When that is over, you are going to call on people and ask them what we notice, that is it! a

  10. tomorrow I think the class is going to be CARTOGRAPHERS {this word is in caps because it's a vocabulary word.scence we will be making a MAP we'll need a KEY[a key is to help people under stand the SYMBOLS]I hope the teacher will make the GRID!The STRUCTURE of our school will look clean.our MODEL will be us.our BOUNDARY will be the classroom. #16

  11. I think tomorrow we will become CARTOGRAPHERS by using our Structure by a built of things we need to do. And Grids on how it tells/where it needs to go to be followed and in the good shape for right direction ,and use our Boundary of where you need to go and an area you need to be in and you use your Key of what street and Symbol's on to represent our features of things And use your Map of where you need to go and be to make or do something.

  12. I think that tomorrow in science we will become CARTOGRAPHERS by making a MAP of our school. How to make a map you might be asking? Well it's easy all you need is a BOUNDARY , a KEY ,a GRID , and a SYMBOL. Inside the map you need a MODEL and STrUCTURE . Tomorrow I might teach you how to map of the school.

  13. i think that tomorrow in science we will become cartographers by making maps and models and structure with grids symbols andkeys 20#

  14. I think represents a model.I think were going to do something with boundary.Then do something with struture.Next draw a huge map.I think were become cartograhers by a story.I think were going to grid at the network.I think were going to symbol texture. I think were going to use a key tomorrow.#19

  15. I think that tomorrow in science we will become CARTOGRAPHERS by making MAPS of our school,and make SYMBOLS' on our MAPS.And i think that we will be making GRIDS for our STRUCTURE if we make one, and using KEYS to label our maps or GRIDS.Or we might make MODELS of our STRUCTURE.Or we might even learn about the BOARDER.

  16. I think tomorrow in science we will become CARTOGRAPHERS BY forming a MODELED STRUCTURE of the school. Using a KEY/MAP to show different places in the school. We will also show a BOUNDARY around our school with beautiful SYMBOL around the border with tiny GRIDS

  17. tomorrow i think the class is going to be CARTOGRAPHERS we will be learning obout grid, model, structure, symbol, boundary, working in groups with 5 poeple.

  18. I think we will be really good CARTOGRAPHERS tommorow. I think we will make many maps and models and grids,symbols and the structers . and the great keys and boundaries too

  19. I think tomorrow in science we will become cartographers by......... using MODEL,BOUNDARY,MAP,GRID,SYMBOL,AND KEY because everything we learned today on our cards is all about cartographers

    i think that a CARTOGRAPHER is somebody that makes a MAP over a certain place and they give you the KEY. Using a GRID is a great thing to help us. I think we can only build a STRUCTURE on a piece of paper.(not in real life.) This BOUNDARY. This will be a great MODEL of our school. i cant wait to make the SYMBOLS.

  21. i think we will be representing a MODEL of our school and doing a BOUNDARY of our school and learning how to add SYMBOLS and some things like adding KEYS and other things like that and probobliy using MAPS and and using a GRID of our school STRUCTURE of our school
