Math 7- The boys had a quiz on the 1st half of chapter 3. I will send them home likely on Friday.
Math 7-girls - The girls have their Unit 2 tests and were asked to take them home to be signed. I have received only 5!! We are working on Unit 3 now.
English- Mr. Martin's class starting brainstorming ideas for their "memoirs". This will be a multi week project.
Socials-The Mr. Martin's class should have completed the first 2 of the "Illustrated History" pictures and writeups. If they only give 1 sentence about the image, they should be looking for a level 2. Multiple sentences and descriptions should warrant a level 3 to 4. In the end, they will have 10 illustrations and writeups about the transition from Hunter Gatherer to the first cities.
PVSS Orientation- Next week, the grade 8's will get their chance to go to PVSS to explore all their options for course selections for grade 9
Science- both classes spent last week and the first of this week working on graphing their results of measuring temperature of ice to boiling water. This week we are starting to make notes on the Particle Model of Matter, which tries to explain what happens to the particles that allows them to change from a solid, to liquid, to gas
PE- the boys will be having day 2 of badminton Tuesday, and the girls will have day 2 of wrestling on the stage. The girls will be trying to get the medicine ball over a certain line starting from a kneeling position, with the ball 1/2 way between 2 people.
Health and Career Education
Both classes have now finished watching "Through a Blue Lens" and I think most were hit by the seriousness of drug addiction. They are currently working on researching a specific drug, the effects of addiction and how it is viewed by the media. This will go on a poster we will put up in the school!
DUE DATES:
* research completed by Friday, January 20 (some may need the weekend, but our lab time is done at school)
* POSTER (answers to questions, diagrams/graphs/images etc..., bibliography on a separate paper) to be complete Thursday, January 26
* PRESENTATIONS will begin Tuesday, January 31!
