Math :
We are continuing our chapter on Rational Numbers this week. We will review square roots and perfect squares and continue our practice on order of operation.
If students need to review grade 8 concepts, they can log on to a really fun game that helps practice math at the same time. Please log on to prodigygame.com and use the code 1BB44B when logging on.
Have a great week.
Language Arts:
We had a spelling test, Morrison & McCall, on Friday. The words start easy & get more difficult as we get to 50. Grade nines should be getting 43+ correct to demonstrate an "at grade level" for spelling. We will be doing this test about 3 times per year.
We have been creating BookFlix for our favorite books this week. Working on Language Power and talking about the poem by Rudyard Kipling "If". Poetry needs to be discussed and annotated so that we can understand it on a deeper level. Students will also be brainstorming some of their own ideas about advice to the future them! It should also include advice about what they wished they had known. All this planning, talking and brainstorming will help them greatly, when we write our own "If" poems next week.
Science:
Students should have completed a research project proposal
and had it approved/signed by Mr. Davis. They will have approximately 10 full
class periods to work on their projects (2 days each week). This is a
significant amount of time and the results of their research need to reflect
the time invested in the research. Each student has an extensive outline of the
project expectations (example: references, rubrics, plagiarism) as well as
ideas of how to show their learning. In addition to the project work, students
have been continuing to learn about recent advances in space science and
technology.
Social:
Political Parties Assignment was due today, and can be handed into the bin. Students are strongly encouraged to work on their Political Scrapbook on a nightly basis, and is now due on Oct 15.
Please see last's week blog for the scrapbook assignment details. See the links below for assistance.
