8th Grade Math: Today in math, students were introduced to isometric dot graphing paper where they began practicing sketching solids in 3-D form. Mr. Olsen had wooden blocks out in the classroom and each table group of students were encouraged to build the shapes that they were being asked to draw first, so they could see what they were expected to draw. They then drew the shapes they built with the blocks on the isometric dot paper.

Assignments: Review Homework #19 is due on Friday.

7th Grade Math: Today in math students were continued working with cylinders and the process of calculating the surface area of a cylinder through a net of a cylinder. We graded our homework and then spent the rest of the hour working on problems that several students were stumped on during the homework. The students that picked up on the algebraic process, in turn helped their classmates through the process as well.

Assignments: Review homework #20 is due on Friday. Students should also complete the 12.4 worksheet if they did not finish in the class time provided.

Science: Today in science students were given class time and computer lab time to continue working on their research of their chosen energy source. Today most students were working on the process of converting their energy source from a raw material to electricity.

Assignments: Students should be completing the Researching Energy Sources worksheet if they did not finish in the class time provided today.
