Friday August 27th

8th Grade Math: Today students completed a scavenger hunt through the Pre Algebra textbook.  They then transitioned back to the pre-course test they completed the past two days and reflected on their areas of strength and the areas that they need further practice.  With this information they began working on the "Letter to My Math Teacher" assignment which is due Tuesday of next week. 
Homework: Letter to My Math Teacher reflection is due Tuesday

7th Grade Math: Today in 7th grade math class we went over the pre-course test.  Students were then assigned their classroom math textbook.  Once textbooks were distributed they worked with their table partners on a scavenger hunt to help them become familiar with the layout, resources, and examples that the textbook presents.
Homework: Complete "Letter To My Math Teacher"  (be sure to answer each question using complete sentences) DUE MONDAY (no exceptions)

7th/8th Grade Science:  In science 7th and 8th graders worked in table groups to make observations and investigate two unknown substances (dry ice and water ice).  Students manipulated the substances and used many resources within the classroom to practice making observations that helped them become more familiar with each one. 
Homework: Develop three-five questions you have about dry ice (be prepared to share your questions with the class on Monday).
