Tuesday February 15, 2011

8th Grade Math: Today in math students reviewed the rules for multiplying fractions and mixed numbers, before Mr. Olsen introduced the next section, 5.5 on dividing fractions and mixed numbers. Mr. Olsen led students through instruction and several example problems before we ran out of time in class.

Assignments: Review HW #7 is due on Wednesday.

7th Grade Math: Today students began class by using their flashmasters. We then moved back into chapter 5 and reviewed customary units of measure, before reviewing section 5.6 and converting customary units. Mr. Olsen led students through several examples problems. Students were still having trouble grasping the concepts, so we practiced as a group for the whole hour.

Assignments: Review HW #7 is due Wednesday.

Science: Today in science, students were given a work day for their Bikini Bottom Genetic Project. Mr. Olsen came around the classroom throughout class today, checking individual students off on each of the six required items needed before they are allowed to begin their final projects. There will be a checklist hanging up in the classroom for students to be aware of what they need to accomplish leading up to the final phase of the activity.

Assignments: Students should be planning out their final project for the Spongebob project. They should be coming to class on Wednesday with any and all materials they may need to begin working on their final projects.
