Hello Grade 8's!
My blog is now live and I will be updating it each day during the school week to keep you organized with all you need to know :)
And yes, the famous word/phrase/question of the day will be in full effect.
So far this week...
Div. 4:
Math - Pythagorean Theorem!!! We have discussed the famous theorem and know the formula like it's our first name. We know that it can only be applied to right angle (90 degree) triangles and that the "c side" is called the hypotenuse and the "a and b sides" are called legs. We will continue more practice questions tomorrow and will complete an activity with some scissors, glue, and graph paper to help you visually see how the three sides of the triangle all relate.
English - Today we finished reading chapter 8 and began chapter 9 of Lord of the Flies. You started your worksheet assignment "Inside a Character's Head." You will have time to finish your illustrations and coloring next class.
Socials - We did our viking longship challenge today! So far two ships have passed both the float and wind test. Tomorrow we'll test the three remaining groups and reflect on what we could change in our boat engineering techniques.
Div. 5 English:
Today we finished chapter 9 of Lord of the Flies (few tears were shed). We discussed symbolism in the story so far and filled in the rising action points in our plot chart. Your "Inside a Character's Head" worksheets were due today.
Announcements for the Week:
- Return signed interim reports
- Sushi and hot dogs on sale tomorrow (Wednesday) at lunch
- No school Friday (Pro-D)
The "team name" of the day is dedicated to the great efforts of one of the viking ship building challengers from today: "S.S. Wingin' It"
