Career Ed: This morning we started out the day with Career Education and the students began to learn about time management in their simulated futures.  They were tasked with examining the jobs they were assigned and then use this information to budget their time each week.  Some areas they had to budget their time in were: work, sleep, transportation, meals, shopping, errands etc.

ELA: With the end of the year approaching fast we took some time to prepare for our upcoming RAD by working together through a practice exam.  Over the period we reviewed what Text Features are and began to explore some of them in the article, "Secrets of the Spirit Bear".

Science: After lunch we had Science and quickly reviewed the layout of a cell as well as Diffusion and Osmosis.  We then began to learn about the four different types of Tissue in our bodies.

Grade 8 Math: Students continued to where they left off before the break by working on their 6.6 handouts before beginning their Unit Review and Practice Test.  We also took the some to go through the outlines for the Unit Quiz (on Wednesday) and the Unit Exam (On Monday).

Social Studies: During the last hour of the day students go into their Colonization Simulation groups and began planning what their camps will look like.
