Bring food for the food bank.  :) Math 8E1-test Monday-Assignments will be passed back tomorrow. Science 8E1 and 8E2-We were in the lab today learning how to use the microscopes.    Some students used their phones to take photos of their specimens.   If you email them to me I will post them for the class and parents to see.   Great work by our Red grade 8 students! Science 7-Today we learnt about food chaines and food webs.    Students are to complete their food web at home.  10 minutes was given in class to start this activity(Question 4 and 5).-notes posted below.

Math 8 E1 ·         Today we did a review of addition and subtraction of integers using models.  (grade7 material) ·         We practiced some division of integers questions.  Notes posted below. ·         Worksheet > is due tomorrow.   I will be correcting this assignment. ·         Homework is p. 83 Q 1,2,and 3 Science 7 E1 and 7E2 ·         Today we reviewed our vocabulary around ecosystems to help prepair students to write their presentation. ·         Tomorrow will be a work period for the entire class.  Bring you research and materials to class so that you can make good use of the time. Science 8 ·         We had an assembly today during class.

Science 7 E2 ·         Notes are posted below. ·         Students are to bring research to our next class.   Science 8 E1 8E2 ·         We learnt about the discoveries of three scientist today.   Notes posted below. ·         Microscope sheet should be completed for next class.   Time was given in class. ·         Quiz on the characteristics of living organisms. (Notes posted to website last week or earlier this week). ·         Today’s notes are posted below.

Math 8 E1 ·         Today we put into practice the trick for multiplying integers.  Notes are attached below. ·         Homework: p.73 Q3, 4, 6 and 7 Science 7L ·         Today we learnt some vocabulary that students will use during their project presentation. ·         We spent the last half of class in the computer lab doing research on our animals.  Students should use 3 to 5 sources for their project.  We will be creating a bibliography. ·         Homework: review notes (posted below) and bring research to our next class to work on the project. Science 8 E1 and 8E2 ·         Today we reviewed the characteristics of living organisms. ·         We made a simple magnifying class and used it to see how a simple microscope works ·         We used our text to practice our science literacy skills. ·         Homework:  worksheet >.  Grade 8 students making a magnifying glass. 

Science 8L ·         We reviewed the characteristics of living organisms. ·         Today we did some guided reading from our text to build our science literacy skills.  Students have two worksheets to complete to check understanding. ·         We took some time today to make a simple magnifying glass.   We will start to work with optical microscopes in the near future. ·         Notes and handouts attached below Math 8E1 ·         Today we started our unit 2.   We modelled using “des jetons” how to multiply integers. ·         A review sheet is for homework to review adding and subtracting integers.  This is grade 7 material.   We will go over all these questions in class tomorrow.   This will allow us to tailor the review to the questions students have trouble with in the homework. ·         Our first assignment will be due Friday.   “Récapitation 1” has been handed out.  Students can work on this assignment during class and during student enhancement.  Extra help will be day 3. ·         Class notes posted below Science 7E1 and 7E2 ·         Students copied notes of new terms that they will use in their project. ·         We went over the learning goals of our ecosystem project. ·         Students had time to brainstorm a list of things they know about their animal and a list of things they will look up tomorrow. ·         We are in the computer lab next class to work on the project. ·         Students should start to bring their box and materials to class. ·         Homework: review notes and bring materials to class. Science 8E1 ·         We watched a video about how to investigate to see if an object is living. ·         We wrote notes on the characteristics of living organisms. ·         Students learnt how to use Venn Diagrams to compare two objects and determine if they are living. ·         Homework: go over notes and write a concluding statement for your Venn diagram.

Students are asked to return their forms to their next class.No homework.  We had an assembly this afternoon.    In class we continued to go over our class routines and we started a discover your book activity.

We will be walking down to Ritchie Warf tomorrow and going on a boat ride for a tour of the river.   Students may purchase ice cream.
