What We Learned Today...May 19th

Our fully Alive Presentation from today

ELA: This morning we got down to business the minute we arrived back from assembly. Students who had not completed their writing assessment were given this period to finish up their good copy, while the rest of the class finished up the conflict assignment that we were working on before we began the assessments last week.  With two assessments officially wrapped up, I could hear a collective sigh of relief from the students as we only have one left to go in June!

Fully Alive: We had a double dose of Fully Alive today and continued through our unit, by reviewing the different the male and female reproductive organs before learning about the different changes the human body goes through during puberty.  After lunch we had an extra Fully Alive class to finish up the lesson from this morning.  Please see full power point above.

Grade 8 Math: With the Math Diagnostic only a few weeks away we have to move fairly quickly through the remaining units.  As a result, we officially started Unit 10 today by learning how to solve one step-equations and I have cancelled the Unit Exam on Friday and replaced it with a quiz.

Science: During the last hour of the day we continued to work our way through our Heat and Temperature unit by learning about Temperature, Sublimation and Heat Energy.  We also headed outside at the end of class for a quick demo on the particle theory of matter that involved a little "fire power"!
