8th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with the Problem of the Day.  This morning, students jumped back into chapter 6 and students were introduced to similar and congruent figures.  After some teacher led instruction and several example problems, students were assigned the section 6.4 WS as homework, to be due Thursday in class.   As a reminder, the test for the FFM is scheduled for THIS FRIDAY, May 8th.    
 
Assignments:  Review HW #52 is due Friday in class. Students should be continuing the memorization for their Fraction Finding Mission.  

7th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with their flashmasters.  Next, students continued working in chapter 6 and integers.  Today, students continued working with the distributive property.  Several students needed some support of how to use the distributive property, so all students continued working on a DP worksheet, while Mr. Olsen moved around the classroom to assist students when needed.  

Assignments:  Review HW #52 is due Friday in class.  The distributive property worksheet we began in class is due Thursday in class.

Science: Students began class with the Do Now.  Next, students got back with their assigned body system partner and groups were given time in the classroom to practice their presentations with mock audiences in order to get some constructive criticism to be better prepared for the actual graded presentations scheduled to begin on Thursday in class. 

   

Assignments:   Students should be finalizing their assigned body system presentations and working on their presentation notes.  Presentations will begin on Thursday in class.
