The homework for tonight is to make corrections from the Weather unit test.  The students will then be graded again averaging the two scores.  Since no students scored a 100% ALL students are expected to complete this over the weekend.
They will need 3 resources for making these corrections:
1) Science notebook
2) Layers of the atmosphere worksheet

All answers are included, or should be included, in these materials.  If the notebook is not 100% complete, using the internet will be another good resource, but I would like to avoid that if possible.

Help Support Nature's Classroom


Dear Parents,

As many of you are aware, grade five students at Scott M. Ellis Elementary have been attending the Nature’s Classroom Program for over 30 years.  Over 3,000 students from Greenville have participated in this wonderful program over those thirty plus years, perhaps even you or your child(ren).  As a district, WE are committed to continuing this EXCELLENT, LIFE CHANGING program.  That being said, I am hoping to work toward a time when the Nature’s Classroom Program is completely self sustaining.

With the help of Sunny Hill Golf Course, we are proudly announcing the Fourth Annual Nature’s Classroom Golf Tournament to be held on Saturday, May 21, 2016.  All tournament information is attached. Please talk with your friends and family (particularly those who attended Nature’s Classroom) about playing in this event.  Any assistance in passing this information throughout our community, and even beyond, would be a tremendous help.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration of this very worthwhile cause and I hope to see you out on the course May 21st!

Best regards,


Brian P. Hostash

Nature’s Classroom Program Coordinator
