Health 8

We went over the course syllabus and completed a personal health assessment from which students will create a quarter health goal. Students must have a health journal for the next class. The journal can be either a small spiral notebook, a composition journal or a diary-type journal. They will use this to make daily/weekly entries. Journals will be collected and graded every other week.

We went over the course syllabus and completed an activity dealing with types of communication.

Assignment:
Students should bring home the syllabus to share with parents and get it signed. Finish the activity sheet from Back to Back Activity if you did not complete it in class.

Social Studies 8

Second Semester in Social Studies brings the switch to U.S. History. The classroom has been rearranged to allow for group work and small group discussions. Students were informed that participation, discussions, and short writing responses are going to be large parts of their grade this semester, so it's important to be in class, and to pay attention to what's going on. Students will also need to make sure that they always bring something to write with, and something to write on every day. Textbooks will be distributed later in the week, once they are needed, because they are heavy!

Today, students viewed a video that summarized the Era of Colonization in the United States. Students were given a study guide on which to take notes. A discussion will follow the video... possibly starting today, but most likely continuing in to tomorrow. Participation in the discussion as well as notes taken on the study guide will combine to form the first grade.
