4/27 Science

Thanks for all your hard work putting the energy projects together and making today's convention a big success!

Tonight, for homework, fill out a learning log on your experience presenting at today's convention. I will randomly select 5 logs to assess tomorrow in class.

Bottle Drive

Congratulations and many thanks to the folks who contributed to the bottle drive. Your hard work and effort raised over $430 for the Boston Trip. Great Job! Kudos to all involved!

4/26 Science

Energy convention projects are due at the beginning of class tomorrow. We will present them in the library during class time.

Students received back a quiz today in science. They should have it signed by a parent/guardian and returned to class.

4/25 Science

Students need to assemble and complete their projects for Wednesday's (4/27) Energy Convention. Students are encouraged to use their reads/needs time wisely and stay afterschool if needed.

Science Energy Convention 4/27

Greetings Students, Parents & Guardians,

Welcome back! You are cordially invited to attend Apollo Science's Alternative Energy Convention on Wednesday, April 27th in Milton Ms/Hs' Library. Students have been working diligently to create a project that demonstrates how a particular type of alternative energy source works. We would like you to join us and share in their learning. Students will present their projects during their scheduled science class time. Please consult with them as to what time you should attend. Our class times are listed below:

1) 7:50-8:50 (Ravens-8th grade group)
2) 8:50-9:50 (Hawks-7th grade group)
3) 10:00-11:00 (Crows-7th grade group)
4) 11:00-12:00 (Snakes-8th grade group)

We hope to see you there!

Students should fill out a learning log for what they learned today researching their science project. This assignment is due tomorrow, 4/14.

4/12 Science

Students are beginning a research project on energy sources in science. To find out more information about the project, click this link and scroll down to question #14. The project overview and rubric are listed there.

4/7 & 4/8 Math

7th Grade

Students continued constructing graphs and tables to model linear relationships.

8th Grade

Students continued their exploration of congruency in triangles. Students reviewed material on reflection, rotation, and translation transformations.

Thanks to all students who participated in the Carnival Festivities/Car Wash today!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend =)

4/8 Science

Students should annotate and finish the "visionlearning" reading on energy. Students should fill out a learning log for Friday's class. This assignment is due on Monday, 4/11.

4/7 Science

Students should write a learning log entry tonight based on today's convection lesson. This assignment is due at the beginning of class tomorrow, 4/8.

Students are also encouraged to make test corrections! Parents/guardians should sign their student's matter 2 assessment.

4/6 Science

Students received their matter tests back today. They are encouraged to meet with me if they are interested in making corrections on it. Parents/Guardians should ask their student to see the test and have a conversation around that. Students should also complete a learning log tonight for homework due tomorrow, 4/7.

4/6 Math

7th grade

Students continued working with linear relationships.

Finish problem 1.3, A.

8th grade

Students began new investigation on congruency.

For practice, 3ACE #'s 1-4.

4/5 Math

7th grade

Students completed investigation 1.2 on linear relationships.

For practice, 1ACE #'s 3 and 20

*Tonight is the last night to get unit tests signed!

8th grade

Students corrected and dissected their quizzes.

4/5 Science

Students should see me if they are interested in making test corrections on their matter assessment. Students should also make a 2nd entry into their learning log tonight for homework. This assignment is due at the beginning of class tomorrow, Wednesday, 4/6.

4.4 Maths

7th Grade
In Problem 1.2, students are exploring linear relationships in tables, graphs and equations. Complete all of question A before next class.

8th Grade
Students completed a quiz on reflection, rotation and translation transformations on a coordinate grid.

4/4 Science

Students on team Apollo will be asked to keep a learning log in science. Unless directed otherwise, students should answer the reflection questions regarding what they've learned in science each day. Parents/guardians can support student learning by asking to see their learning logs and having a conversation around what they are learning. The first learning log entry is due tomorrow, Tuesday, 4/5/11.
