They cut the power off at the school today for maintance and I couldn’t post anything until I got home. For my second period class here is the article we are reading tomorrow if you want to go ahead and read it and answer the fill in the blanks about the article. For my other classes you can do it to, it was today’s entry 20 and it is the first half of the notes. Otherwise my 3rd-8th period classes don’t forget to identify you arrows which represent air masses by their temperature and moisture. Remember you can use the words hot, warm, cold, and cool as well as dry, moist, wet, and humid. You need to color the cool or cold arrows blue and the warm or hot arrows red or orange. The article is below as well as the sheet you are completing tonight. See everyone tomorrow.

Don’t forget to finish the bottom of the hand out that I gave out today about the Source of Earth’s Heat and Atmosphere. You need to take the lines coming from the Sun and complete them by drawing an arrow head on the end of each line. One line represents what the object absorbs and the other represents what the object reflects. If you think it absorbs or reflects a lot you will draw a big arrow head. If you think it absorbs or reflects a little you will draw a little arrow head. Don’t forget to answer the last question on the sheet about the drawing if we didn’t in class. See everyone tomorrow and remember we are having a quiz on Friday!  Click on the link below to see today’s entry and the sheet for home work tonight.
