Halloween Oct. 31st Tucana math

Both grades have three graphs of (time vs heartbeats) for 3 stories read on Friday, today they made graphs of what they expect a listener to think of their story. They have been requested to turn in the four graphs and a hard copy of their story. Some already have.

The look of gradebook online has changed. Please take a look. Student led conferences are coming and they will be able to explain what papers go with the items listed.

Have a great Halloween!

10/31 Science

The last day for the 1st Quarter is on Friday- Students/parents should be checking in with their teachers and on Powerschool to find out how they're doing

7th grade students- should have completed their science test today.  If they are not finished, they need to schedule an appointment with me (reads/needs, lunch, afterschool) when they can finish it.

8th grade students- should complete a learning log around the ecosystem card sort that we did in Friday and today's class

October 28th, Tucana math

7th grade was assigned no new tasks but should have page 30&31#5-8 done.
8th graders received their check-ups back and I would like corrections on a separate sheet of paper and stapled to the original as soon as possible as the first quarter ends Friday,
November 4th.

Both 7th and 8th made graphs representing heartbeats for three stories read in class today. On Monday they will create a graph that predicts what they believe their listener will graph for the story. When each of them has completed a reading of their story and graphing some one elses they will compare them and see what they find.

Tucana math, October 26,2011

First I would like to thank the Board members for the visit today. The students were excited to see familiar faces they have seen on TV and in the community.

7th graders: We are continuing work with similar figures, co-ordinate plane, proportions and scale factors. The task at hand is page 31 & 32 # 5 - 8.

8th grade: There will be a check-up tomorrow on cones, spheres, and cylinders. Students will be allowed to use their planners which have the formulas. Labsheet 3.3B, page 40#15, and questions #18 -22 will be checked with #22 being a focus. (#19 we addresses bases which were triangles or squares)

8th grade students have a performance-based inquiry skills test tomorrow.  Students should remember/review your target goal.  Get plenty of rest and have something to eat for breakfast!  We've been practicing these skills since last year.

7th grade students have test on Friday (10/28).  What did you learn today about graphing?  What should all good graphs have?
