Monday...reflect, rotate and transform!

Evening Everyone!  So today was a fresh start with our new math unit on Geometry and Spatial Sense.  I saw many of you accessing your prior knowledge today and trying to remember what an isosceles triangle was and all of that other knowledge in the creases in your brains.  We'll be talking more about this and covering it more in class.

In math today for both the 7s and the 8s it was the Remembering section of your texts, numbers #1-9.  Please try all of the numbers as best you can and we'll revisit it tomorrow.  Also, we need to review the tests from Friday.  Some crazy things going on, you either did really well or not well, there wasn't a lot of between.

In language today we went up to the lab to continue researching your history projects.  Some of you are still not making good use of your time and think that you are "finished" your research portions.  I will meet with all of you tomorrow and we'll see if you have been thorough enough.  I met with Mrs. Nicholson's class today and many of them still were missing data, information and had no clue really what they were supposed to be researching.

After lunch you did a tally of your health journals from last week. You need to look at your Canada's Food Guide suggestions for your ages and then do a tally of your food based on what it suggests.  We will discuss your data next week.  Hopefully some patterns will emerge and we can see where we are not meeting the guidelines to help as a starting point for our PSA's.

Next you had Science, with Mrs. Nicholson.  I should have gotten the links that you looked at today.  I will get them for tomorrow and will post them on the blog.

At the end of the day you had French with Mrs. Wong, and you went up to the computer lab.  I will get the details from Mrs. Wong and post them up here too.

For tomorrow:
Math - 2D Geometry #1-9
Language - SOTM due soon
History - Research projects are due soon
Science - two worksheets for Mrs. Nicholson + Cornell notes for the chapter she specified
Health - Food journal tally
French - Project for Mrs. Wong on French?!
Art - t-shirt design due next art period

Have a good night and I'll see you tomorrow.  Please find the success criteria for the art project attached in the photo below. :)
