8th Grade Math: Today in
math students began class with the problem of the day. Next, students
jumped back into chapter 3. We continued our talk about solving
inequalities using addition and subtraction. Students were given several example problems that they had to complete and show Mr. Olsen before beginning work on their homework assignment, which is the 3.4 worksheet. It is due Friday morning.
Assignments:
Students should be completing the 3.4 worksheet if they did not complete it during the class time provided. Review Homework #23 is due Friday.
7th Grade Math: Today in math students
began class by using their flashmasters. Next, students jumped back
into
chapter 3. We continued talking about intervals, tally marks and the
frequency something may occur. Next, students were given the class period to complete the 3.5 worksheet on histograms. Students were given about 45 minutes of class time to complete the assignment, and they had to hand it in before they left class, whether it was finished or not.
Assignments: Review
Homework #23 is due Friday.
Science:
Today in science, students welcomed a guest speaker, Erik Norberg, who
works for the DEC and the Juneau Watershed Partnership. Mr. Norberg
brought in a presentation on the three major stream types located around
the Juneau area, brown water streams, clear water streams, and glacial
streams. Erik talked a bit about the major biological components of all
bodies of water, nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon, and the water
chemistry for each stream. We then participated in a lab activity,
designed to have groups of students testing water samples from each of
the three stream types talked about, and measuring the dissolved oxygen,
pH and turbidity of each sample.
Assignments: None.
FYI: Parents! Starting on Monday (10/31,
the first day of the second quarter), teachers in the Aurora house will
no longer accept late work from our students. Students will get credit
for the work they do, when it is due.
