Wednesday December 16th


7th & 8th Grade General Science: In science students finished the Density of Spheres Lab and turned it in. Several students did not finish on time, thus it is homework for them and they will be expected to turn the finished lab in first thing tomorrow (Thursday). Students were then introduced to the periodic table of elements and the concepts of protons, neutrons and electrons. Students took notes today, and will apply the knowledge learned today to the activity tomorrow.
Homework: none

7th Grade Math: Today students completed the Chapter 3 test. As the students finished the test, they were broken into groups to work on a logic activity. We finished the day using the Flashmaster hand held computers, to help with their multiplication and division skills.
Homework: none

8th Grade Math: Today 8th graders corrected section 4.1 worksheets, before working with the Greatest Common Factors. After some instruction, students were given a worksheet to finish in class.
Homework: Review homework #7 due Thursday. Section 4.2 worksheet is due tomorrow as well, if the student did not finish in class.
