8th gr. Spanish FLEX
We reviewed the forms of "tener" which means "to have. " We went over 10 sentences in which forms of "tener" are used. We practiced pronouncing students' Spanish names and responding orally to the question "Como te llamas." We pronounced and learned ways to greet people and say good-bye.
Science 7
We corrected our 3.1 GRS and began discussing water erosion. Students are to finish the Key Terms and Concepts on pg. 72 for their homework. If they are not completed by class on Monday, they can not participate in the lab/project.
Social Studies 8
The format of Social Studies has changed for 2nd Semester. We are now studying U.S. History instead of World Geography. Also, the style of instruction is different in order to prepare students to be successful in high school social studies classes. There will be notes. A lot of notes. We have a lot of material to cover in a short amount of time. Homework is occurring much more regularly. Academic and behavioral standards have been raised for this semester as well. Students are expected to be turing in quality assignments. Neatness and spelling will always count for part of a grade. There is no excuse for late work since students each have their own book that they can take home to help them finish their homework. Students were made aware of these changes on the first day of the semester.
Unfortunately, there are some students who will be starting the semester with a low percentage because they have not completed their homework, or they did not follow the directions as written on the homework assignments.
Today we talked about how the Colonial Rebellion turned into a Revolution.

Science 8
Review Assignment 1.1 was turned in and we began three learning stations: Classification Techniques, The Kingdoms of Living Things and learning the Tools of Identifying Living Things. Student will work independently and in pairs through each of these stations in the next few days.
Literature 8
We corrected our questions from "the Open Window". We also had to re-do an assignment. Many students rushed or simply made educated guesses on our Genre matching assignment. We reviewed how our text book is a resource...using the glossary, index and literary terms handbook. The students also could use a dictionary or ask for help.
When students meet challenges in their work they need to use their skills and resources available...not just give up.
Those students who passed the assignment had free work time.
