What We Learned Today...September 8th

Working hard on their Jungle Investigation Assignment!

ELA: After arriving back from our Monday morning assembly, students spent the remainder of the period working on their Creation Myth Sequence Assignment and listening to Percy Jackson's version of the myth.  Note: This assignment will be due on Friday.

Health: Now that students learned a few different tips on how to give an effective presentation, they began to apply this knowledge by working on a presentation that focuses entirely on them.  These presentations will not take very long as they are only required to complete eight slides about themselves.  The entire assignment can be viewed online here.

Math: We started out the class by taking a brief quiz on Socrative, which assessed the students understanding of the concepts from the 2.2 lesson on Rates. After they finished up with the quiz they were given the remainder of the period to work on their textbook assignment from pg. 60.  (Full assignment listed below)

Science: During the last hour of the day we continued where we left off last week and quickly reviewed and assigned the seven Characteristics of Living Things. We also spent a little bit of time going through the key words: Biotic, Abiotic and Ecosystem before students were tasked with a small assignment called "The Jungle Investigation".
