Monday, June 3

Anyone entering 8th Grade Graduation Speech Contest needs to submit a copy of their speech to Mrs. Weiss by the end of lunch tomorrow (6/4).

Science: Went over the review for the final exam. Final exam is tomorrow, homework is to study! 


Geometry: Began reviewing some of the major concepts from algebra to help ease the transition to Algebra 2. The average on the final exam was 94%, nice work!



Humanities: Students prepared for our Ellis Island simulation on Friday. No homework.

Technology 8: What we did today- Students finished their EDPs for the high school.  They updated their goals and their education plans.  Homework- No homework

Tech 8 (Stein): Digital Life 101; 3rd Hour: Finish PowerPoint Activity/Digital Life 101

Spanish I: All review sheets passed out today and tomorrow will be due this Thursday. Answers will be on the blog, since we will not have time to go over them. The final exam is this Wednesday and Thursday.


ELA - Today AR quizzes were due during the hour the student attended class.  I will be shutting down AR tomorrow (FYI).  We continued our discussions on immigration by reading our third story "Making Maddie Mad" by Rita Williams-Garcia from our book First Crossings: Stories about Teen Immigrants. The unfortunate loss of the Spirit Assembly opened up another day allowing me to give a Final for ELA.  This final will consist of grammar and reading comprehension.  Basics from what we have learned all year.  This final will be administered on Monday, June 10th.  I will work hard to get them graded as soon as possible and will have finals (hopefully) finished to distribute on Tuesday before students are released. Please remember journals are due tomorrow with at least 50 entries (10 extra credit points will be given if students write 10 extra entries). Homework: READ!  Journal entry #50

Algebra: We took a practice test today.  I have posted the answers to both the review and practice test. Final exam is on Wednesday! 

 
Course 3: Today we reviewed for our final exam June 5th and 6th.  It is not on the 7th.
