Thursday October 1st
7th & 8th Grade General Science: Today in science students moved on in the overall scope of the Deer Study and began to learn about the biology of the Sitka Black-tailed Deer of Southeast Alaska. After some directions and discussion, students were broken into groups in order to tackle the days reading, with each student taking a section and taking notes to share with the rest of their group after a certain time period. This is called the Postcard Project and a due date is still to be determined.Homework: Finish the storyboard, to be due on this coming Monday.
7th Grade Math: In math 7th grade students were handed back their chapter one test and we went over any questions the students had about the test as a class. Students were then introduced to adding and subtracting decimals, as well as a new concept called front-end estimation of decimals. After some classroom instruction, they were given a worksheet to finish the evens in class. If they did not finish in class, it is due Friday.
Homework: Review Homework #7 (due Friday).
8th Grade Math: In math the 8th grade students corrected their own homework from section 2.1 as a class, before the introduction of the distributive property. After some classroom instruction and discussion, the students were turned loose on worksheet for section 2.2.
