Homework Oct 23rd

I will not be at school tomorrow. I will be in Fredericton receiving by Master in Education from UNB. It is nice to be finished. My research was in the area of teaching Math and Science to French Second Language learners. I am looking forward to putting it all to good use this year! :) Math 7L1 and 7L2 -We continued to work on division of decimals. Students need to review multiplication facts. -Notes below. Q 7 and 8 for homework -I have attached the worksheet below that students will get tomorrow in class. Science 7L2 -We reviewed the water cycle today. It is an example of recycling. Students should be able to define the process and the terms involved for the test. (end of unit) -Students also worked on their science literacy skills today. They read passages from the text (chapter 2) to find answers for their crosswords. We will review all the terms next class. This does not need to be completed before next class but students should practice their reading comprehension by using the text to review. Students should complete the terms they know for next class. Science 8E1 -Students learned about mitosis today. We viewed two videos. The second showed real examples of cells undergoing mitoses. -Students are to complete the worksheet for their study notes. -Test are corrected but will not be passed back until everyone writes.
