Class time was given to complete yesterday's assignment since many students had not completed it. Calculators are very useful in this math class. Students are encouraged to bring them to class. If a student doesn't have a calculator by 8th grade, now would be a good time to get one.
Today's assignment: 2-4 packet - due tomorrow

Social Studies 8

Today we reviewed and discussed Chapter 6, Section 3 about the cultural diversity of Canada. We also discussed the differences between diversity in the U.S. ( a melting pot) and in Canada ( most ethnic groups live together in certain regions and adhere to their own traditions - not a lot of cultural blending).

Assignment: Read Chapter 6, Section 4 (p. 177-180) and complete the notes, terms, and skillbuilder on the study guide. The Chapter 6 Vocabulary Practice worksheet is due tomorrow.
