What We Learned Today...March 25th

Well, I did my best this weekend to bring back the sunny weather from Palm Springs.  However, not only was I not successful but I appear to have brought even colder weather with me.  My bad!

We had a great start to our morning with a quick assembly in the gym before heading back to the class for AR.  Our class is now up to 15.5 points per student which is only a couple shy of the leading classroom.  Everyone is doing a great job and I'm sure if the hard work keeps up we'll take the lead in no time!

Due to some technological issues in ELA the students were unable to work on their fakebook assignments so we spent the hour working on Science Fair projects instead!  As it stands right now, all fakebook assignments will be due this Friday.  However, if the technology gods continue to smite us, we may have to push back our due date to next week.

In Grade 8 Math, the students took a quick quiz on Socrative before working on their assignments for 6.4 "Multiplying Improper Fractions and Mixed Numbers".  I was also very impressed with how well everyone did on the assignments for 6.1- 6.3, the average mark on all these assignments was an 88%! Well done everyone!

After lunch the students had Arts. Ed and continued to learn different types of dances for their dance unit.  In Science we continued to work on Science Fair projects for the entire period.  *Science Fair is now only a week away (Tuesday, April 1st 12:38 - 3:00) and we still have a lot to do before then.  Students need to make sure they have all experiments completed and backboards need to be finished by Monday.  During the last hour of the day Mr. Fuchs stopped by for Phys. Ed.
