What We Learned Today...December 3rd



Today's Advent calendar winner opening his gift!

As you could probably guess from most of my posts, we started out our day with the usual AR period from 9:08 to 9:38.  With just one week to go until our deadline, we are up to 6.8 AR points per student.  If everyone continues to do their part and can finish their current book by next Wednesday we should definitely meet our goal of 10 points!  In ELA the students were given the period to work on their "Super Sized Trading Card" Assignment.  These assignments are really coming along nicely and I can't wait to see all the finished products next week!

In Grade 8 Math we quickly reviewed how to convert between percents, decimals and fractions before learning how to find the percent of a number.  We got half way through this concept and will wrap it up on Thursday.  Below I've posted a video that reviews what we learned in class today:

Our decomposer labs!

After lunch the students had Phys. Ed with Mr. Fuchs and they worked on different skills associated with baseball.  At 1:23 we had Science and the students observed the changes in their Decomposer Lab for the first fifteen minutes of class.  Once we finished up with the decomposers the students observed another experiment that dealt with the Water Cycle.  During the last hour of the day the students had Health with Ms. Zwingli and they continued to work through their Fully Alive unit.
