7th & 8th Grade General Science: Today in science students handed in their cell collage from last week. Students were then introduced to the next project which pairs students into groups of two, and each group was assigned a different body system. Groups will spend the next few days of class researching their assigned body system, before putting together a powerpoint presentation to report on their body system back to their classmates. Presentations will begin early next week.Homework: Students can research their body system if they wish, in order to keep on the time schedule set in class. Presentations will begin next Monday.
7th Grade Math: Today in math, students began class using their flashmasters. After about five minutes, we reviewed section 5.2 in the book before handing out the section 5.2 worksheet for the students to work on in class. Students were given about 30 minutes in class to finish the problems, and if they did not finish, it is homework as it is due tomorrow. For the last ten minutes of class, we introduced section 5.3 on multiplying fractions. We will go deeper into multiplying fractions tomorrow.
Homework: Review Homework #9 is due Wednesday.
