Happy Earth Day!

I hope everyone enjoyed Earth Day yesterday. We have a busy week ahead, as students are preparing for the Shakespeare play next week and getting their Art pieces ready for Friday's art show.


6 math: Students will be focusing on lessons 95-98. These involve changing decimals and mixed numbers to percents. They will be given a pretest 14 on Wednesday, and it will be gone over in class Thursday. The test 14 will be Friday.

7 math: Students will be working on the lessons 88-91. We will also be taking timed integer tests to try and perfect our adding and subtracting of integers. They will be given a pretest 14 on Wednesday, and it will be gone over in class Thursday. The test 14 will be Friday.

8 math: Students will be focusing on lesson 86, which involves dividing polynomials. This is a complicated concept and we will be practicing it all week. We will also be spending some time working with functions and the vertical line test. They will be given a pretest 14 on Wednesday, and it will be gone over in class Thursday. The test 14 will be Friday.
 
7/8 Science: We will be focusing on insulators, conductors, resistance, Ohm's law, and super conductors. Students will be watching videos, taking notes, and constructing their own circuits in Labs this week. They will have a quiz next week over this section.

6 Science: Students will finish the section on heat transfers, specific heat and insulators and conductors. They will get a study guide Tuesday for a quiz Thursday over this section. We will then begin a lab on insulators and conductors of heat. I need a lot of sunshine to do this lab, so I have had to put it off a few times. I hope for some sunshine soon!  We will also be tending to our flowers in the garden.

5 Science: Students will review the different systems of the body and their functions for a quiz Thursday.  We will also be tending to our flowers in the garden.The Endocrine system will be studied in detail in the weeks to come.
