Math 7
-We corrected homework. Assignment of practice questions was given out. We will continue this tomorrow.
-Videos for section 7.1 and 7.2 of the textbook have been posted in our ShowMe group for students to watch for review. Students need to memorize the terms as I can not explain them during a test.
-Group code is DISX

Math 6 from split.
-Students followed a flipped class model today where the correction for the homework was in a ShowMe video that they watched to correct their homework. Mr. Walsh was available to help explain further. Students then had time to work on page 72 Q 4 (with calculator) and Q5. I checked in and students told me they understood. Students are able to work at their own speed. I am open to feedback about this method of teaching.

Math 6
-We made sure everyone could log into ShowMe. Time was given to work on page 72 Q 1. This is for homework. Students can correct their homework by watching the video posted in our group. (yezn). Many students moved on to work on Q 4 and 5, but this is not for homework. Please note Q 1 H is different from the book question.

Science 8
-Groups were given the time to start their research project. Some groups will be using a video, Powerpoint, game, demonstration to present to the class. Students are finding an aspect of our optics unit that they are interested in and researching it. I love seeing all the smiles as students explore and learn about something that interests them. We will be working on this project over the next two to three weeks.
Science 7
-We went over the readings that were handed out and made note of the important parts. We went over how to make a scientific drawing. We also reviewed how to do a filtration. We will be in the lab tomorrow to perform a simple filtration. Hair should be tied back and no sandals.
