Friday December 2

X-Block: today the students started a new class for first block on day 2's. 

Math 7-boys: we introduced the concept of percentages, fractions, and decimals all showing the same information. 

Science-Martin: We introduced the Chemistry section today, and reviewed connections to material some had done last year, such as the KMT, and parts of density.  I assigned chapter 4 vocabulary for homework for Tuesday

PE- Most students tried a version of Dodgeball that Ms. Waring introduced yesterday.  Mr. Martin said he was upset that the class didn't get to do the "beep run" yesterday when he was away.  Apparently they weren't!  They got a second "fun day" because they agreed to not "whine" when next week they get Line Dancing, and Hip Hop lessons the following week.  Here are some of the photos of PE today.  We try to get a group of students to lead the warmup, today they really liked to give out "deep knee bends" as a final warm up.  They asked the group to perform 50!

Deep knee bends!
NOT staged at all!

Cathy Peters Writing Assessment: today in 5th block, both classes were split into grade specific groups and started to write the reading/writing assessment.  Our hope is to be done with the assessment and share results with you and the students before Christmas.
