What We Learned Today...November 8th


Well the day finally came! Today was the final day for the students to reach their AR goal of 10 AR points per student if they wanted to have another AR movie party.  With all the results now in, I am pleased to announce that our class has once again exceeded our goal!.  For the month of October we officially earned 292.2 AR Points as a class, which averages to 10.4 AR points per student.  Well done everyone!

In ELA the students were given the entire hour to type of their final copies of the Percy vs. Perseus paragraphs.  These assignments will be due on Tuesday, November 12th.  Students, don't forget you will need to hand in all steps of the writing process along with your final copy.

In Grade 8 Math we continued to learn how to apply the "Pythagorean Relationship" to problem solving questions involving right triangles.  Students also began to work on their 3.5 assignment, "Applying the Pythagorean Relationship".  This assignment will be due on Wednesday, November 13th.  *Don't forget we will be having our Unit 3 Exam on Thursday, November 14th. 
 
After lunch the students had Phys. Ed with Mr. Fuchs and they At 1:23 we had Science and the students were treated to a guest speaker to teach them about plants. This man was none other than Mr. Bill Nye the Science Guy! For the half hour we watched the Bill Nye episode about Plants and the students completed a brief handout as they watched.  During the last hour of the day the students had Health with Ms. Zwingli and they wrote their test on relationships.
