7th & 8th Grade General Science: Today in science students began class with a quiz on the body system presentations from the previous two days. After the quiz, we introduced the next activity, The Organ Trail. Students were assigned a disease and they will spend the next few days researching this disease and the body system and organ(s) affected by this disease. Students will then create a Wanted poster using the scoring guide we provided them.Homework: None
7th Grade Math: Today in math, students began class using their flashmasters. Students voted today to take the chapter 5 test tomorrow (Thursday) in order to avoid taking it after spring break. So students spent most of class today completing the worksheet for section 5.6 and working on the chapter review.
Homework: Students should spend the evening studying and preparing notes for their open note chapter 5 test scheduled for tomorrow.
8th Grade Math: Today in math, students began class by working on some standards based problems. Afterwards, we finished introducing the rest of section 5.7 and continued reviewing section 5.6. Both of these sections are rather difficult, so we spent quite a bit of time reviewing and making sure all students were grasping the content.
Homework: None
