VERY IMPORTANT FOR 7TH GRADERS! BODY SYSTEMS DOCUMENTS

Ok 7ers, we're starting our body systems project. Basically you choose 1 assignment from each column (so that you have a total of 11 points) Once you've decided on an assignment you will choose a different system to complete each task. In the end you will have learned about 4 more systems in addition to the three we learned about together as a class.

HERE IS THE LINK TO ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS. This way you should not have to worry about losing ANYTHING!

Twirly Thursdays!

Hi gang! What a FANTASTIC DAY!!!!!!!

Our 7ers took a portfolio eligible geometry assessment. I think you all ROCKED on it! WOOHOO! Tomorrow we will introduce ourselves to the newest body systems project so that you have a chance to get a head start on it over spring break. If you lose a document I will post everything on here so you have access to it.

6ers! What a great day of working on your projects. TOMORROW THEY ARE DUE! NO EXCUSES!!!! You also have a quiz tomorrow on adding, subtracting decimals and converting from fractions, decimals percents and ratios. MAKE SURE YOU REVIEW TONIGHT!

OK my wonderful students! See you tomorrow! THEN SPRING BREAK! WOOOHOOO

hugs!

Wacky Wednesday!

Hello 7ers!

Today you practiced making MORE reflections. Remember the key to making reflections for a point out in space is to make TWO arcs from two different points on the reflection line. This way you can ASSURE you are making a point that is a complete reflection of your original point. If you need help click here for some tips and explanations of reflections. Remember! Tomorrow you are going to do a portfolio eligible assignment showing me that you know how to make a reflection over a line that is given to you.

For those of you that were absent (and there were lots of you) make sure you KNOW how to do this and if you can at home practice making a reflection of a triangle (like we did in class) and WRITING the steps out for HOW TO do this along with any justifications that PROVE your point on one side is REFLECTED EXACTLY on the other side. Until tomorrow 7ers! Ciao!

6ers! Today we learned how to multiply fractions. Your homework tonight will be the worksheet we did in class AND to finish ONE side of your BINGO

GLOOMY (but not inside) MONDAY!

Hi 6ers! You had a FANTASTIC day today! So excited about memorizing your fraction and decimal conversions! We then went on to introduce ourselves to THE BIG AND FINAL WEATHER PROJECT! Today you picked the assignments you want to do, and remember THIS IS PORTFOLIO ELIGIBLE! your homework tonight is to look over your worksheets and fill in any weather point 3 sheets that you can. You should also look over the sheets so you are prepared for work time tomorrow in class.


Here is a link to ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS!

Today is Wednesday!

Alright gang!!!

Today we had a wonderful review day. 7ers we split you guys up to really make sure ALL of us knows how to copy and bisect and angle AND copy of a line segment. We also started practicing making targets with three circles and writing AMAZING justifications. Tomorrow in class we will rewrite our own justifications so that it can meet the standard and YOU can get a portfolio eligible assignment in MST!

If you need some more assistance, here is a link to the justification page

This way you can always look back here to make sure you know how to write proper steps and justifications.

If you want to practice making geometric constructions at home click here!



6ers! KEEP PRACTICING ADDING AND SUBTRACTING DECIMALS. We also watched most of our movie on the weather and saw some very interesting things about tornadoes and hurricanes.

CLICK HERE for some extra help on adding and subtracting decimals.

Alright! See you tomorrow!

Rememeber 7ers your IXL homework is P4 and P5, 6ers you should be working on finishing J2, J3, and J4. Also, 6ers if you didn't finish your decimal worksheet that is due TOMORROW!

Ciao!

IXL

Clarification for everyone. Some of the IXl standards I did not count, if 7ers are struggling with P17 and P28 please do not worry about those. The only standards that were due on Friday were the standards I personally wrote on the sticky note -- that indicated the standards you were responsible for completing.

Wacky Wednesday!

Hi 6ers and 7ers!

Today was a wonderful Wednesday for the 7ers as we had Dr. Julie Harris come and visit us and speak with us about her work at the Center for Disease Control. She detailed the response to an outbreak and showed us some pictures of her recent travels to Africa for a very serious Cholera outbreak.

Tonight you don't have a COW (don't have a COW!) but you should continue to work on IXL standards P12, P15 P16 P24 P21

6ers

Today you showed your knowledge of conversions of fractions, decimals, percents and ratios. Some of us had quite a few questions -- tomorrow we will review the standards and the expectations for this. Tonight you have no COW, but you have to continue working on IXL T10, B4.

See you tomorrow you wonderful students!

Monday!

Hi Gang,

Today the 7ers dealt more with geometric constructions to bisect an angle, copy an angle, make a perpendicular point, and so much more! You guys are doing a GREAT job taking the lead with making these constructions. I think I may have you make a 'HOW TO' poster to teach the rest of the world!!!

If you need more help with constructions click here!

Also, if you want to learn more about congruent triangles click here!

You have a COW for homework tonight and must do IXL P12. See you tomorrow!

6ers you continued to have an AMAZING day as you worked with Ms. Dickie to make observations of condensation and the role water vapor plays in all of this. We also played basketball round number two with your denominator being different. You had to take your ratio through the cycle to convert it to percent, decimal and fraction. I'm sure many of you are realizing it is easier to convert a percent to a decimal than fraction then ratio, then going the other way around!

Tomorrow we will continue to have practice with this, you will use this knowledge to look at the world's water supply! It's going to be fantastic!

See you tomorrow!

Hello 6ers and 7ers!


Wow it's a new run of units for all!

6ers, you did a FANTASTIC JOB learning and DOING the conversion of fractions, decimals, percents and ratios.  Never lose your MATH cycle sheet! If you click below on the picture you can get some help on this stuff!


7ers

Today we introduced ourselves to using a compass if you click below here are some helpful hints on how to use a compass!

So here is a link - If you didn't do it, here's your chance!!!!! CLICK HERE

7ers today you had a great day! We learned about the integumentary system, its functions and the importance of the parts of the system!  Tomorrow we will continue reviewing what YOU learned, talk about exfoliating and then dive into the wonderful world of GEOMETRY!

6ers! With Ms. Dickie you introduced yourself to the WATER cycle! What a great thing!  Water is the number one necessity for ALL LIFE! well, most of life :)

sooo. tomorrow we will continue with the water cycle, start talking about fractions, decimals, and percents!

wooohoo!
