Both of the science classes are preparing to present their finished Design and Tech projects next Monday. 8A will be presenting with PowerPoint while 8B will be demonstrating their working models followed by an oral explanation of their solution.
We started a new unit in Math this week (Data Management) and we will be looking at how to collect and analyze data in a reliable and valid manner.
In English we are working on a short narrative story that I have provided a prompt for in the form of a WW2 photograph. The students are completing their templates and will begin their rough copies tomorrow. The final revised copy will be due next Tues/Wed. The students will be then able to write their own narrative story using the same templates but choosing their own subject matter.
In Reading we are working on creating Jot Notes (something they will need next year) from a nonfiction selection. We have already done jot notes on a health related reading and they are going to use these notes in creating an Art and English project - Healthy Eating for Teens poster.
A reminder that gym is on Monday and Thursday so gym clothes are required (a number of students are not coming prepared). We will also going outside over the next couple months to enjoy the winter wonderland so please help make sure that the students are coming to school with the required hat, mitts, and boots - we live in Canada ... it gets cold.
Thanks
Mr.B
