Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween Everyone!!

We should be looking at a Math test early in the week of November 9th.  Will keep you posted on a date.  Students will be responsible for knowing percent, sales tax, commission, interest and discount.  More information to follow with a Review!
Here's wishing you a safe night tomorrow with many little visitors!

Sales Tax

We looked at Sales Tax in Math class today.  Attached are the notes and an example of that.  Also, we went over the commission problems from yesterday.  Students spent some time with Mr. Randy Cielen today.  Mr. Cielen came in to do a hands-on science activity involving chromatography.  Please ask your child about it!

Today we are finishing work on the Circulatory and Digestive Systems.  We will soon be heading over to look at the Respiratory System and how some systems work together.
In Math, we are doing some more Commission problems.  They are attached to the blog.  These questions are due for tomorrow's class.  If you have any questions, please refer back to the example from yesterday, or contact me.

Working on Digestion and Commission

Today we did some work on the Digestive System....actually putting together a paper model.  8S did this and 8M started on the Heart.  Some 8M students began work on the Digestive System.  We will finish this off next class.

Also, we worked on the commission problems again today.  Please check out the attached notes and example of a commission problem solution from yesterday.

Today's Math

Today, students in 8S are responsible for completing pages 22 and 23 in their math booklets.  We will be correcting them tomorrow.
In 8M, students are not expected to do these pages....they will be assigned tomorrow in class.  However, please check out the notes on Commission to see how we are solving these problems.

Digestive System Diagram

Together in class, we compiled a schematic diagram of the Digestive System.

Interest problems

We have gone over the interest problems from yesterday.  I have given students the following questions that we will be going over on Monday.  I will be including examples of how to do the question types later today.
Have a great weekend and ........
