What We Learned Today...March 17th

We kicked off our week with a school wide assembly in the gym before heading back to class for ELA.  Over the hour the students finished up their Dystopian books and began working on their final blog post assignment for the unit. We will be wrapping up this unit next Friday so thats mean that Blog Post #5 and Comment #4 will be due this Friday, March 21st and the Fakebook assignment is due on Friday, March 28th.

In Grade 8 Math we went through the Unit Seven exams as a class before moving on to the assignment from 6.2.  (Full assignment is listed below)  If you would like to work ahead in our unit I have posted all the video lessons and assignments online on our math website.  Just place your mouse over the "Unit 6" tab and a drop down menu will appear where you can select the concept you want to learn.  *Remember you need to watch the 6.3 video by Wednesday!

After lunch Ms. Postma stopped by for Arts. Ed with a really cool lesson loaded with technology!  Unfortunately for Ms. Postma and the students, our server at the school crashed and we had zero access to the internet which meant the students worked on their scrapbooks instead and will participate in this cool lesson on Thursday!  At 1:38 we had Science the students started working on their observations/data and conclusions for their projects.  The science fair is approaching fast (April 1st) and that means we have a lot of work to do between now and then.  I would like to see all areas of the Scientific Method completed by Monday so we will have all next week to work on the backboards.
During the last hour of the day the students had Phys. Ed with Mr. Fuchs and they spent the period participating in the push up beep test!
